Alive

You took your love

You put it on a shelf

You messed it up

Well, blame it on yourself

"You don't care much"

So go pretend you're fine

You miss the touch

It's like you're not even alive

You get what you give, they say

But there's so much stuff in the way

You give and you're left to stray

And you're so sick and tired to pray

I get it, you fear letting it grow

But it's not all that you need to control

There's life together, you know

Love's a rock in your hand that you throw

So take your love

Pick it up from the shelf

Ain't no messing up

Love 'em and also yourself

Oh, do care much

And focus on making it fine

Feel the touch

And scream to the world you're alive
