Lyrics

Heartbreak feels like an old dream

Heartbreak feels like a distant memory.

Feels like a demon i cannot shake him

Heartbreak is like a persistent demon that the singer cannot escape.


I have no one to turn to

The singer feels abandoned with no one to seek solace from.

The people have left me

People have deserted the singer.

I'm dead to my family

The singer feels emotionally detached or estranged from their family.


O-o-o oh o-o-o oh

(Repetition of sounds, possibly expressing emotional turmoil.)


It's your heart that I'll call

The singer finds solace in the thought of the person's heart.

I am alive and here after all i am alive

The singer is grateful for being alive despite challenges.

That's my consolation prize

The realization of being alive serves as the singer's consolation prize.


There are no bruises to cover

No visible wounds mask the internal pain.

The bleeding's internal

The suffering is hidden within, and the singer is told to remain silent.

I'm told to be quiet so

The singer is compelled to stay quiet.


No one knows I'm dying

The singer is experiencing a metaphorical death without anyone being aware.

No one know he's lying

Someone is lying, and the truth is hidden from others.


It's your heart that I'll call

The person's heart is still a source of comfort for the singer.

I am alive and here after all i am alive

The singer affirms their existence and gratitude for being alive.

That's my consolation prize

The singer finds consolation in being alive.


I'm not afraid to fall

The singer is not afraid of facing challenges or difficulties.

I am still standing here after all

Despite hardships, the singer is still standing strong.

I didn't die that's my consolation prize

Surviving is the singer's consolation prize.


I spose I should thank you

The singer acknowledges the need to thank someone for setting conditions that led to growth.

You set the conditions

Conditions set the stage for the singer to learn independence.

For me to learn to be alone

The singer had to face loneliness as a result of lies and denials.

You lied and denied and you forced me to see

The singer was forced to see the potential to create a life independently.

I can make my life on my own

The singer realizes the ability to lead their own life.


It's your heart that I'll call

The person's heart remains a source of strength for the singer.

I am alive and here after all i am alive

The singer affirms their existence and gratitude for being alive.

That's my consolation prize

The singer finds consolation in being alive.


I'm not afraid to fall

The singer is unafraid of facing challenges or difficulties.

I am still standing here after all

Despite hardships, the singer is still standing strong.

I didn't die that's my consolation prize

Surviving is the singer's consolation prize.

That's my consolation prize

(Repetition of the idea of survival as a consolation prize.)
