I'm Alive - Heather Nova

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
