[Verse 1]

Times like these shed unfamiliar light

On everybody's colors that they hide

It's not about the way that you fall down

What matters is the way that you climb out

So climb out


[Pre-Chorus]

When the clouds turn into thunderstorms

When your pulse starts beating a little more

I wanted to believe you wouldn't run

But you're a bullet in a gun


[Chorus]

You aim to pierce the heart

But you broke the ones you loved before

You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again

You aim to pierce the heart

But sometimes you forget that you're alive, alive, alive

Alive


[Verse 2]

Everyone you know is looking out

But you can't get yourself to come around

And they're saying the things you know you didn't wanna hear

While you're just dodging bullets left and right


[Pre-Chorus]

When the sparks ignite and turn to flames

When you watch the fire burn away

Once the smoke has cleared you're all alone


[Chorus]

You aim to pierce the heart

But you broke the ones you loved before

You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again

You aim to pierce the heart

But sometimes you forget that you're alive, alive, alive

Alive


[Bridge]

You're a bullet in a gun...


[Chorus]

You aim to pierce the heart

And you broke the ones you loved before

And you try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again

If I could slow you down then maybe you would understand

That you aim to pierce the heart

But sometimes you forget that you're alive

Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive

But sometimes you forget that you're alive

Alive
