Lyrics I'm Alive - Heather Nova

I'm Alive

Your hands were covered in paint
The pillow smothered my cry
You were half charmer half snake
I lived in dream-time
But I’m alive, I survived you
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted
All the hate is gone cause I’m alive
Some nights I’d sleep in the car
Just to escape you
You drove devotion too far
No-one could save you
But I’m alive, I survived you
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted
All the hate is gone cause I’m alive
I still have visions of you
I still have nights to get through
And when the trust isn’t true
I have these visions of you
Burning me down
But I’m alive, I survived you
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted
All the hate is gone cause I’m alive
I’m alive, ride on and fade away
I’m alive, there’s nothing more to say
I’m alive, ride on and fade away
I’m alive, there’s nothing more to say
I’m alive, ride on and fade away
And the bitter taste, the years I wasted
All the hate is gone
