lyrics

VERSE 1
Something true revealed a fake
Can’t take it back no it’s too late

PRECHORUS
I didn’t wanna learn how to say one more goodbye
Would you wanna live only half a lie

CHORUS

Half alive
Half alive

VERSE 2
Fever dreams are no resting place
Too much more than I could face

PRECHORUS 2

I didn’t wanna learn how to say one more goodbye
Would you wanna live only half a lie

CHORUS 2
Half alive
Only half a lie
Half alive
Half a life

BRIDGE
The glass is full of empty truths
Filling half a lie

Instrumental break

PRE CHORUS
I didn’t wanna learn how to say one more goodbye
Would you wanna live only half a lie

CHORUS 3

Half alive
Only half a lie
Half alive
Half a life

OUTRO
It’s only one more night
It’s only one more night
