Testo I'm Alive

I told them my story
Then I broke down and I cried
I stood like a soldier
While I crumbled inside

I took all the credit when it was never really mine

I let my heart break down with bruises and cuts I heard all the secrets and I kept my mouth shut
Been given all the chances I deserved
I screwed em all up

With my finger on the trigger
I shot and I missed
I smoked like a chimney I drank like a fish

I crash, I burned, I lost from all of this
But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

Well make no mistakes I have been down this track
I've felt what it's like to have a knife in my back
I took all the sorries and I stuffed them all in a sack
I turned to the experts but that didn't work
Got down on my knees and I prayed but it hurt
I thought I struck gold but it turned out to be dirt

I took all the blame, I swallowed my pride
I chose to get in and taken for a ride
I won't be showing up to testify

But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

And through all the blood and the sweat and the tears
Things ain't always what they appear
I made it through the hardest fucking year

But I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Am alive and I am well
And I got me another chance
And I got more stories to tell
And I can fit inside a mansion
I got nothing left to lose
And I got nobody to answer to
And I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
