Half Alive Lyrics

It's another night of magic

But the magic hurries on without me

It's another night of romance

But it's happening somewhere that I can't see

Somewhere I don't wanna be

Feel the planet turn beneath my feet

See the traffic rushing down the street

Well they must know where they're going

But the tail lights are a moving mystery

I just know they're free

And the moon is but a sliver up above

It barely lights my way but I survive

Some say I'm half dead to love

I prefer to think I'm half alive, half alive

It comforts me to think I'm half alive

It's another night of laughter

And I hear it when the wind blows just right

For some this night's electric

But as far as I'm concerned it's just tonight

And who's to say who's right?

Well I've never been a man to run and hide

But it's hard to stand against this pounding tide

I don't embrace the darkness

But it's been so long since I've felt the light

If it came I wouldn't fight

And the moon is but a sliver up above

Barely lights my way but I survive

Some say I'm half dead to love

I prefer to think I'm half alive, half alive

It comforts me to think I'm half alive

It's a different kind of poverty

Pours down like the rain on me

And I can't find a shelter from my heart

I remember it was warm and dry

Just before you said goodbye

And you warned me that you'd leave me at the start

And I didn't want to hear it

So I wrapped myself in lies and poetry

The shock is gone, the tears are done

I'm not sure how much is left of me

I'm not what I used to be

And the moon's a laughing giant up above

Let it do its worst, I'll still survive

Some say I'm half dead to love

I prefer to think I'm half alive, half alive

I keep on telling myself I'm half alive
