Alive lyrics - Khalid

Unread texts and missed calls

Told everyone I turned my phone off

Didn't ask for help and now I'm lost

Life comes in phases

Consequences and mistakes

I'm sorry that it's taken me so long

Mister, mister, please let off your power

Can you give me half an hour?

Or better yet, a full

Only sleep until it all comes true

But life is what you make it

And then there's more to lose

Gate keeper, can you show me more to life?

Lately I've been livin' out of spite

Grim Reaper, just give me one more night

I need another chance to say goodbye

I shouldn't have to die to feel alive

Here's the thing with disappearin'

You can yell and no one hears ya

Times like this I need an ear

When I finally have so much to say

Wish I could see your face

So do what I had to stop the tears

Sister, sister, please know that I'm sorry

I wish you could have stopped me

From fallin' off the hill

Only sweet until it all goes sour

My path is what you make it

Until it gets too real (until it gets too real)

Gate keeper, can you show me more to life?

Lately I've been livin' out of spite

Grim Reaper, just give me one more night

I need another chance to say goodbye

I shouldn't have to die to feel alive
