I Don’t Feel Alive

**Verse 1**
I wake up tired of breathing
Like it’s something I forgot
Every mirror shows a stranger
With your absence in his thoughts

Your side of the bed is colder
But I stay there anyway
If I leave this room behind me
I’ll have to face the day

**Pre-Chorus**
They say the pain will pass
But it’s learning how to stay

**Chorus**
I don’t feel alive
I just exist in time
Every second without you
Is another way I die
If this is healing
I don’t want to survive
I don’t feel alive
I just don’t feel alive

**Verse 2**
I talk to you in silence
Like you’re listening somewhere
I keep hoping that it kills me
That you don’t answer there

I cut the lights at sunset
Let the dark take over me
If I sit here long enough
Maybe I’ll finally sleep

**Pre-Chorus**
I built my world around your name
Now it’s buried in the wreck

**Chorus**
I don’t feel alive
I’m just learning how to cope
Every promise that you made me
Feels like cruel, false hope
If moving on means losing you
Then I’ll stay paralyzed
I don’t feel alive
I just don’t feel alive

**Bridge (quiet, breaking)**
Did you ever love me
Or was I just a phase?
Were you already gone
While I begged you to stay?

*(screams)*
I GAVE YOU MY LIFE
YOU LEFT ME EMPTY

**Final Chorus (heaviest)**
I don’t feel alive
I’m just counting the days
I’m breathing out your name
Till it fades away
If this is what’s left of me
After you decide
I don’t feel alive
I just don’t feel alive

**Outro (whispered)**
I’m still here
I don’t know why
