Times like these shed unfamiliar light
On everybody's colors that they hide
It's not about the way that you fall down
What matters is the way that you climb out
So climb out

When the clouds turn into thunderstorms
When your pulse starts beating a little more
I wanted to believe you wouldn't run
But you're a bullet in a gun

You aim to pierce the heart
But you broke the ones you loved before
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
Alive, alive... Alive

Everyone you know is looking out
But you can't get yourself to come around
And they're saying the things you know you didn't wanna hear
While you're just dodging bullets left and right

When the sparks ignite and turn to flames
And you watch the fire burn away
Once the smoke has cleared you're all alone

You aim to pierce the heart
But you broke the ones you loved before
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
Alive, alive... Alive

You're a bullet in a gun

You aim to pierce the heart
And you broke the ones you loved before
And you try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
If I could slow you down then maybe you would understand
That you aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
Alive, alive... Alive, alive, alive
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
Alive
