Keeping Me Alive (Acoustic) Lyrics by Jonathan Roy

My Lullaby

2019

[Verse 1]
You tried to hold me down, so I became a soldier
Built up all these walls, and now I'm climbin' over
Those nasty bees are temping me, oh, lord
But I ain't goin' back
You take me for a fool, that doesn't make me foolish
Told me I was wrong, passion made you ruthless
Manipulate, it's just too late, oh, lord
But I ain't goin' back no more
[Pre-Chorus]
You're fuelin' up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of
[Chorus]
Breaking every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
Makin' me believe I couldn't do without ya
Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire, (this fire), this fire
[Verse 2]
I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders
Built up all my strength, I'm finally takin' over
Complicate, I don't appreciate, oh lord
But I ain't goin' back no more
[Pre-Chorus]
You're fuelin' up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of
[Chorus]
Breaking every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without ya
Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
This fire, (this fire), this fire
[Bridge]
You're breaking me, shaking me, shaping me into what I never wanted
And breaking me, shaking me, making my beating heart a little stronger, stronger
Stronger
[Chorus]
Breaking every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
I will never be what you wanted
This fire, this fire – is keeping me alive
Breaking every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without ya
Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
