Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Son, she said

Have I got a little story for you

What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a...

While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen

Your real daddy was dyin'...

Sorry you didn't see him

But I'm glad we talked...

[Verse 2]

I... I... I'm still alive...

I... I... I'm still alive...

I... I... I'm still alive...

[Verse 3]

While she walks slowly across a young man's room

She said, I'm ready... for you

I can't remember anything to this very day

'Cept the look... the look...

You know where, now I can't see... I just stare

[Verse 4]

I... I'm still alive...

I... I... I'm still alive...

I... I... I'm still alive...

I... I'm still alive...

[Verse 5]

Is something wrong, she said

Of course there is

You're still alive, she said

Do I deserve to be?

Is that the question?

And if so... if so

Who answers?

Who answers?

[Verse 6]

I... I... I'm still alive...

I... I... I'm still alive...

I... I... I'm still alive...

I'm... I'm still alive...
