I'm Still Alive (You're Gone)

(Matraca Berg - Al Anderson)



Woke up this mornin', just another day

Got myself out of bed in the usual way

Threw back the curtains and the sun was shinin'

Well, it seems these days I got such good timin'.



Since I let you go

Well, what do you know.



Guess I fooled everybody

Said I'd love you till the day that I die

Even if you didn't love me

Sorry baby I guess I lied

You're gone and I'm still alive. oh, oh yeah, yeah



I'm the kind of girl that never fails

To hang on to the past by my fingernails

And I can't help it, even I'm amazed

At how much better they look painted in pink sorbet.



What took me so long to sing this song

Guess I fooled everybody

Said I'd love you till the day that I die

Even if you didn't love me

Sorry baby I guess I lied

You're gone and I'm still alive. oh, oh yeah, yeah



I said goodbye and I survived

I'm still alive.



--- Instrumental ---



Since I let you go well what do you know

Guess I fooled everybody

Said I'd love you till the day that I die

Even if you didn't love me

Sorry baby I guess I lied

You're gone and I'm still alive. oh, oh yeah, yeah



I'm still alive. oh, oh yeah

Yeah well, what do you know...
