It was a bitter cold winter when she wanted him back,
Wanted his heart then she found her voice,
but that didn't stop her from crying all night.
While he was miles and miles away
she died more and more every day,
Feeling wasted and broken.
And now she's lost while he's gone,
Thinking all the ways she's wrong,
Why is she alive tonight?
Baby why am I alive tonight?
Will you hold me back?
Keep the pain at bay?
'Cause I can't stand it, not today!
She asked "What's the use anymore?
I feel like shit, for sure."
She keeps trying to keep her head up,
But she sees the others, and stops her heart,
And now she's lost while he's gone,
Thinking all the ways she's wrong,
Why is she alive tonight?
Baby why am I alive tonight?
Will you hold me back?
Keep the pain at bay?
'Cause I can't stand it, not today!
and is love always so hopeless?
Is life black and white and grey?
she knows the answer, but she won't believe it, not today.
And now she's lost while he's gone,
Thinking all the ways she's wrong,
Why is she alive tonight?
Baby why am I alive tonight?
Will you hold me back?
Keep the pain at bay?
'Cause I can't stand it, not today!
No, no, no, you won't keep her from falling,
She hopes to go away, away from this heartache,
Away from the pain.
