Back Alive

Verse 1

Another glass of wine just to freeze the clock

Looking for a body just to make it stop

Skin against skin in the dark of my room

Trying to forget all this heavy blue

But the alcohol fades and the morning is loud

And the ghost in my bed doesn't clear out the cloud

Yeah, I'm chasing a high just to outrun the low

But the sadness behaves like a shadow I know

Pre-Chorus

And the world broke apart in a blink of an eye

Left us matching our pieces and asking them why

But that night is still ringing deep inside of my head

Thunder and smoke where the hymns were instead

Chorus

When the smoke went up, all the music died

Angels in the sky, we just held 'em tight

But twenty-two stars will forever guide the night

Yeah, they tried to bring the fear, but we danced through the fright

Had to be so strong when the curtain fell

Healing from the scars that I'll never tell

So I poured out the pain, found a way to survive

Thank u for the strength, now I'm back alive

Verse 2

Mixing up my drinks till I can't feel my face

Losing my mind in another embrace

It's just temporary medicine to blur out the stain

'Cause sex doesn't wash away emotional rain

Had to look in the mirror, face the tears in my eyes

Stop hiding the trauma behind pretty disguise

Pre-Chorus

'Cause the world broke apart in a blink of an eye

And it changed every beat of my heart, I won't lie

The echo of the crash still comes back in my sleep

But I'm turning the fears into promises to keep

Chorus

When the smoke went up, all the music died

Angels in the sky, we just held 'em tight

But twenty-two stars will forever guide the night

Yeah, they tried to bring the fear, but we danced through the fright

Had to be so strong when the curtain fell

Healing from the scars that I'll never tell

So I poured out the pain, found a way to survive

Thank u for the strength, now I'm back alive

Bridge

(Twenty-two stars...)

Ain't got no more tears left to cry, yeah

The rain came down, but we're gonna fly higher

Through the trauma, through the mess

Yeah, we're gonna be alright, I confess

Outro

One drink for the pain, one night to forget...

But love is the only thing staying, you bet.

(Twenty-two stars...)

Thank u, next.

Yeah, thank u, next.
