I'm Alive Lyrics - Identity Crisis - Shelby Lynne

Engines rev and trumpets roar 

I don't hear your voice no more 

And living isn't worth the fear of dying 

Wrapped up package torn up clothes 

Empty days and deep dark holes 

The only thing that keeps a man from crying 

Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track 

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones 

Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks 

With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride 

Oh cause I'm alive 

Whispers in a losers dream 

Holding on to not a thing 

Cause these arms now are paralyzed without you to hold 

Bold with crazy have no fear 

Children cry and then I hear 

The message my lies tell me in my dreams 

Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track 

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones 

Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks 

With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride 

Oh cause I'm alive 

Maybe if I caught the rain 

In pails that filter out the pain 

I'd realize why you had to go 

Days of lightning show the way 

And night time creeps and holds at bay 

The missing you, the mean, the cold, the ugly 

Oh if I don't get you back I'll fall upon a railroad track 

And let the steel wheels cut right through my bones 

Oh if I don't get you back I'll cover up my bloody tracks 

With sorrow hopes and hide my dying pride 

Oh cause I'm alive
