for crying out loud I'm running from a comedown
god forbid I know I've been a letdown
reaching for the sky while lying in a gutter
kicking & screaming I am singing bloody murder

[chorus]
I'm alive when I'm vulnerable
I'm out of control I'm losing my soul

I can't be your angel when I'm living like a devil
can't be you love when I'm living like a rebel
don't want your pity & I don't want your help
don't try & save me go take care of yourself

I'm alive!
sick of the pain I'm sick of the sorrow
sick of today I'm sick of tomorrow
I'm addicted to the misery in my head
I better stop before I end up dead

So I climb to the top just to fall to the bottom
and I climb to the top just to fall to the bottom
