Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your thoughts become your enemies
When you're locked inside this cage
Life can feel dead to me
And all that's left is rage
[Verse 2]
Regrets for all the time we wasted
Thinking of ourselves
Holding on to pain you tasted
Living in this hell
Don't wanna go back home tonight
So I drive this road alone
[Verse 3]
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams
The best that we ever had
I keep telling myself I can take you from this God-forsaken place
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
[Verse 4]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Stay alive
Oh oh oh oh
[Verse 5]
Your fear controls everything
Never let you turn the page
We end up only settling
For when we both felt sane
Reaching out for something
That you can't quite hold on to
Say goodbye and starting over
When there's nothing left for you
Don't wanna go back home tonight
So I'll drive this road alone
[Verse 6]
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams
The best that we ever had
[Verse 7]
I keep telling myself I can take you from this God forsaken place
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
[Verse 8]
I keep telling myself I can take you from this God forsaken place
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
[Verse 9]
Stay alive for the hopes and the fears and the dreams
The best that we ever had
I keep telling myself I can take you from this God forsaken place
Stay alive for the good times
Stay alive through the bad
[Verse 10]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Stay alive
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Stay alive
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Stay alive
