Forge Anew - Alive Lyrics

If you could see
Just who I am
Maybe then you would start to care
About the things you say
The life you live
And choices that you make

I was enthralled
Enthralled with you
Until I learned a thing or two
How you avoid the void
Has now destroyed
The feelings that I had

I'm left here feeling hollow
The pain is hard to swallow
I don't know why I'm alive
(Alive)
It starts with hate and anger
Then turns to lamentation
I wish I wasn't alive

I loved the way
You made me laugh
Your twisted humor matched my own
We could say anything
At any time
And no one got upset

But over time
You spoke the truth
And ripped my heart out of my chest
I was the joke the whole damn time
And now I'm laughing at myself

I'm left here feeling hollow
The pain is hard to swallow
I don't know why I'm alive
(Alive)
It starts with hate and anger
Then turns to lamentation
I wish I wasn't alive

Tell me
Why you had to go and ruin
What we
Were starting to have between us
You spoke
Of how you wanted to change but
You can't
Until you compromise

The words you said were harmful
I should have been more careful
Yet I believed all the lies
But now that it's all over
I have regained composure
And now I'm glad to be alive

I no longer feel hollow
The pain I now can swallow
I know why I am alive
(Alive)
I have a greater purpose
Than to stoop to your level
I've never felt more alive
