Rina Sawayama – To Be Alive Lyrics

 

To Be Alive Lyrics by Rina Sawayama

 

Flowers, still look pretty when they’re dying
Blue skies, always there behind the rain, rain
Oceans, swallow all our feelings
I know, it’s just temporary pain, pain

‘Cause I used to make my world so small
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
I never thought that I’d get this right
But I finally know what it feels like

To be alive
To be alive
Opened my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Opened my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive

Darkness, used to wrap its arms around me
I used to bring him with me everywhere, where
I swear that sometimes I get to be my worst enemy
I swear this whole time, the answer’s been right in front of me
All of the beauty and love I could not see
I see you now
I see you now

‘Cause I used to make my world so small
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
I never thought I’d get this right
But I finally know what it feels like

To be alive
To be alive
Opened my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Opened my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive

Flowers still look pretty when they’re dying
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they’re dying, yeah, yeah
Flowers still look pretty when they’re dying
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they’re dying
