Still Alive

(album: Baby, It's Okay - 2020)

You've spent too long waiting on a change
But it never came
Did you wait in vain?
I don't know your name
But I know you well

I'm just like you in that I had to fight through every day
Trying to numb the pain
Drink it all away
Smoke another strain
Didn't know myself

I'm not gonna tell you it's okay
Or to not complain
Or that it's a phase
But you're not insane

Even when your back's up against a wall
Even when you're down, and almost out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive
You can always try

Even when your back's up against a wall
Even when your light, is burning out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive
You can always try

I know that it's hard so don't get me wrong
I don't want my words
To be misheard
Or to make it worse
But I've been around

We have all got our own heavy cross to bare
It's a metaphor
Like I said before
I can look at yours
Cause I've been around

I'm not gonna tell you it's okay
Or to not complain
Or that it's a phase
But you're not insane

Even when your back's up against a wall
Even when you're down, and almost out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive
You can always try

Even when your back's up against a wall
Even when your light, is burning out
When it looks the worst and getting worse
Still alive
You can always try
