    When did all fall apart in your hands
    Chemistries tell me we should be friends
    I dont know how I’m gonna pretend
    I dont know how I’m gonna pretend

    You stole my, oh my heart
    You stole my, you stole my
    I’m so high, I come apart
    You stole my, you stole my
    Heart

    I’m a bullet stopped dead in the air
    Smoke hanging silver, caught in your stare
    Hanging on when I know you don’t care
    Hanging on when I know you don’t care

    You stole my, oh my heart
    You stole my, you stole my
    I’m so high, I come apart
    You stole my, you stole my
    Heart

    You took my love, you left the rain
    I still wait, I still wait
    I’m holding on, you walk away
    I still wait, I still wait
    You took my love, you left the rain
    I still wait, I still wait
    I’m holding on, you walk away
    I still wait, I still wait

    You stole my, oh my heart
    You stole my, you stole my
    I’m so high, I come apart
    You stole my, you stole my (heart)
    You stole my, oh my heart
    You stole my, you stole my
    I’m so high, I come apart
    You stole my, you stole my
    Heart
    Heart

    You’ve been with me all along, all along
    Always on my side, you’ve never gone
    You’ve been with me all along
    And you’ve been holding on, holding on for so long
    When others would be gone, you stayed with me all along

    You’ve been with me when I laugh or cry
    Anywhere I stood, you’d be standing by
    With me when I’m fine, with me when I’m not
    With me when I’m giving everything I got

    With me all along, not a cameo
    Every scene, every episode, in every video
    Skip no scenario, there anywhere we go

    You’ve been with me all along, all along
    Always on my side, you’ve never gone
    You’ve been with me all along
    And you’ve been holding on, holding on for so long
    When others would be gone, you stayed with me all along

    You’re still with me, and I hope you stay
    We’ve come a long way since the early days
    Always had a spot in the escapades, and a suitcase for the getaway

    And all along you were always down
    Showed up, and would hang around
    Singing loud, standing out in every crowd
    And you’re still here now

    You’ve been with me all along, all along
    Always on my side, you’ve never gone
    You’ve been with me all along
    And you’ve been holding on, holding on for so long
    When others would be gone, you stayed with me all along

    They’re not all like you, no
    Some blow away in a fair weather gust
    Disappear in a cloud of dust
    Leave you in the rain to rust, betraying your trust
    Say you’re pretty good, but not good enough
    The ones you thought you knew well
    But I guess not well enough

    But that’s not you, that’s not you
    You never put me in the rearview
    I wouldn’t be the same without you
    So I thank you, I thank you
    You never put me in the rearview
    And I wouldn’t be the same without you

    Always on my side, you’ve never gone
    You’ve been with me all along
    And you’ve been holding on, holding on for so long
    When others would be gone, you stayed with me all along

    You’ve been with me
    You’ve been with me all along, all along, all along
    You’ve been with me
    You’ve been with me all along, all along, all along

    When I’m furthest from myself (far away)
    Feeling closer to the stars (outer space)
    I’ve been invaded by the dark (can’t escape)
    Trying to recognize myself when I feel I’ve been replaced
    When I’m furthest from myself (far away)
    Feeling closer to the stars (outer space)
    I’ve been invaded by the dark (can’t escape)
    Trying to recognize myself when I feel I’ve been replaced

    I can feel a kick down in my soul
    And it’s pulling me back to earth to let me know
    I am not a slave, can’t be contained
    So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave
    ‘Cause

    I still feel alive
    When it’s hopeless
    I start to notice
    That I still feel alive
    Falling forward
    Back into orbit

    So when I lose my gravity in this sleepy womb
    Drifting as I dream, but I’ll wake up soon
    To realize the hand of life is reaching out
    To rid me of my pride I call allegiance to myself

    I can feel a kick down in my soul
    And it’s pulling me back to earth to let me know
    I am not a slave, can’t be contained
    So pick me from the dark and pull me from the grave
    ‘Cause

    I still feel alive
    When it’s hopeless
    I start to notice
    That I still feel alive
    Falling forward
    Back into orbit

    I still feel alive
    When it’s hopeless
    I start to notice
    That I still feel alive
    Falling forward
    Back into orbit

    I can feel a kick down in my soul
    It’s pulling me back to earth to let me know
    And this heart that beats inside of me will show
    It will show

    Floating in outer space
    Have I misplaced
    A part of my soul
    Lost in the in between
    Or so it seems
    I’m out of control
    Floating in outer space
    Have I misplaced
    A part of my soul
    Lost in the in between
    But I can’t keep me
    Asleep for long, ’cause

    I still feel alive (I can feel it)
    When it’s hopeless (it ain’t hopeless)
    I start to notice (start to notice)
    I still feel alive (I can feel it)
    Falling forward (falling forward)
    Back into orbit (back into orbit)

    I still feel alive (I can feel it)
    When it’s hopeless (it ain’t hopeless)
    I start to notice (start to notice)
    I still feel alive (I can feel it)
    Falling forward (falling forward)
    Back into orbit

    I still feel alive
    I can feel it
    It ain’t hopeless
    ‘Cause I start to notice
    I still feel alive
    I can feel it
    Falling forward

    I still feel alive
    I still feel alive
