You were gone when we played the last song
I didn't see you after it was done
I looked for you in every crowded room
Guess I drank enough for both of us
And made myself a fool

I will tell the world
You have left my heart
You went back alone
Now everything's unknown and cold
I will tell the world
You're better on your own
You needed space to grow
And we can't stay forever young

Oh-oh, I've been staying alive
Slowly losing my mind
But I will, I will survive

She saw me in my highs
And in my lows
We took our love
As far as it could go
She broke me down
And left me a note
Now you have to be
The braver one
'Cause on goes the show

I will tell the world (oh-oh)
You're better on your own (oh-oh)
You needed space to grow
And we can't stay forever young

Oh-oh, I've been staying alive
Slowly losing my mind
I keep falling, falling behind
But I keep staying alive
With my heart on the line
I know I will, I will survive

Baby, I'm so high
I'm so high
You know I'm gonna
Tell the world tonight
Baby, I'm so high
I'm so high
And nothing's gonna
Brings us back to life

I will tell the world
(I will tell the world)
You have left my heart
(You have left my heart)
You went back alone
(You went back alone)
Now everything's unknown and cold
I will tell the world
(I will tell the world)
You're better on your own
(You're better on your own)
You needed space to grow
(You needed space to grow)
And we can't stay forever young

Oh-oh, I've been staying alive
Slowly losing my mind
I keep falling, falling behind
But I keep staying alive
With my heart on the line
I know, I know
I will, I will survive

Baby, I'm so high (I'm so high)
I'm so high
You know I'm gonna
Tell the world tonight
Baby, I'm so high (I'm so high)
I'm so high
And nothing's gonna
Brings us back to life

I'm so high (staying alive, staying alive)
I'm so high (staying alive, staying alive)
I'm so high (staying alive, staying alive)
Staying alive
Staying alive
