Only Alive

When you happened by, my open eyes could see



My sleeping hands awoke and almost reached



I was full of life, till you walked on by



Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely



And only alive



For a moment my heart began to beat



My puppet legs responded to your strings



And my shuffling feet started stepping high



Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely



And only alive



For all the things worth living for



Left me for someone new



And all of those things I lost



I was left condemned to a lonely life



Then I went right back to feeling sad and lonely



And only alive
