LYRICS

Verse 1

When you forget to hold your tongue

(The way you/I always do)

When you forget you’re not alone

(The ways you/I always do)

Close your eyes, in a moment it’s gone.

Hear the footsteps walk away from you.

Turn the corner, but it’s empty space.

And there’s nothing you can do.

Chorus 1

Alive or dead

You’re in my head

Alive or dead

You’re in my head

Verse 2

Whispers circle round

(The way they always do)

Hushed and hurried sounds

(That chase away any and every doubt)

Scream your mind out, it won’t stop the tears

Drink until oblivion

Break the mirror, if that’s what it takes

It won’t bring them back again

Chorus 2/3

Alive or dead

The things you said ‘

was always something there

You’re in my head

Alive or dead

You’re everywhere

You’re here and there

You’re in the air

I can breathe you in

I can smell you there

You’re in my head

Alive or dead

Verse 3

This song is for the broken hearts.

Looking back, this is how is starts.

Close your eyes, in a moment it’s gone.

Hear the footsteps walk away from you.

Turn the corner, but it’s empty space.

And there’s nothing you can do.
