Still Alive

There was a moment in time

When you said you'd be mine

Till the day

Everything faded away

We were watching love grow

Like the roses you saw

In the spring

But roses have thorns that can sting

Don't you think it's a crime

That we wasted our time

All along

Wondering where love had gone

Still alive

Still alive

I know only the love survives

Still alive

Still alive

After everything else has died

After all of the wars have been fought and lost

The battle is finally won

After paying the price, was it worth the cost

When all is said & done?

First they tell you this

Then they switch it to that

They make you rich

Then they leave you flat

They say they will

Then they tell you they won't

First they know for sure

Then they've given up hope

First they give it up

And they rub it in

They go bersek

And then they're bored again

They give it up

And then they want it all

First the straight & narrow

Then it's off the wall

When I thought I'd had all I could stand

Nothing turned out like I planned...
