Dying To Be Alive

by ashleeey   Jul 22, 2007


I'm dying to be alive
I'm breathing dead air
Every step I take
It's like nobody cares

Don't cry now
Wait until the breakdown
Hanging by a thread
Look at what I've found

Shut up and turn away
Drop the pills on the floor
I used to be alive
Just not anymore

You'll feel this pulse
You'll see my eyes
But looks are decieving
These are just lies

I've never been anything
Even close to strong
I bleed when I cut
But it's been too long

You'll fall in love
But I'll break you apart
I'm dead inside
I have no heart

I always say 'I love you'
Before I really mean it
Sometimes I never do
But everyone's a critic

Can't control my emotions
They spill over inside
But the truth really is
I'm dying to be alive.
