Your hands were covered in paint

The pillow smothered my cry

You were half charmer half snake

I lived in dreamtime



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

I have these visions of you



And 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



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
