I Look Alive

There's things you learn
There's things you know
But the hardest things to understand
Prove easiest to show
I look alive
But I feel like shit
Ignore the aching in my bones
And focus on this cigarette

I look alive
I look alive

I'm coughing up
Until I choke (until I choke)
Conversations with a stranger
And forget the words I spoke
My talk is cheap
Hung by a thread
Got your face, perfume, and number
Tattooed inside my head

I look alive
I look alive
I look alive
I look alive

All I wanna do is feel alright
I don't wanna be alone tonight
All I wanna do is
All I wanna do is
All I wanna do is get it right
Am I gonna be alone tonight?
All I wanna do is
I don't wanna do this

There's things you know
There's things you say
I change your mind
You change my ways
You lose your cool
It's just the time
You lose your voice
And I lose mine

There's things you learn
Things you know
How could I explain the difference?
Does it hurt?
Letting go
How come I could never understand?
Something that I've never been
Understand
Something that I've never been
Hey!
