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... 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...
