You were gone when we played the last song
I didn't seek, you left or it was done
I looked for you in every crowded room
'Cause I drank enough for both of us
And made myself a fool
I will tell the world
You have left my heart
You went back alone
Now everything's so numb and cold
I will tell the world
You're better on your own
You needed space to grow
And we can stay forever young
Oh, I've been staying alive
Slowly losing my mind
But I will, I will survive
She saw me in my highs and in my lows
We took our love as far as it could go
She broke me down and left me alone
Now you have to be the braver one
'Cause all it goes to show
I will tell the world
You're better on your own
You needed space to grow
And we can stay forever young
Oh, I've been staying alive (staying alive)
Slowly losing my mind (losing my mind)
I keep falling, falling behind
But I keep staying alive (staying alive)
With my heart on the line (heart on the line)
I know I will, I will survive
Baby, I'm so high, I'm so high
You know I'm gonna tell the world tonight
Baby, I'm so high, I'm so high
And nothing's gonna bring us back to life
I will tell the world (I will tell the world)
You have left my heart (you have left my heart)
You went back alone (you went back alone)
Now everything's so numb and cold
I will tell the world (I will tell the world)
You're better on your own (better on your own)
You needed space to grow (needed space to grow)
And we can stay forever young
Oh, I've been staying alive (staying alive)
Slowly losing my mind (losing my mind)
I keep falling, falling behind
But I keep staying alive (staying alive)
With my heart on the line (heart on the line)
I know I will, I will survive
Baby, I'm so high, I'm so high (I'm so high)
You know I'm gonna tell the world tonight
Baby, I'm so high, I'm so high (I'm so high)
And nothing's gonna bring us back to life
I'm so high, I'm so high (staying alive, staying alive)
I'm so high, I'm so high (staying alive, staying alive)
