Alive Like Me Meant For This Lyrics

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
(When I'll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
(Replay them in my mind)

I'll never let this go
And it might kill me if I try
To pretend that its all behind me
Tell myself that it wasn't meant to be

The only thing I hope
Is that I make it through the night
So the words that I've kept inside me
Will get a chance to see the light

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
(When I'll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
(Replay them in my mind)

Woah x2
What was I running from?
I'm meant for this
Were meant for this Woah x2
What was I hiding from?
It's hard to see behind the sun

But like the stars in the sky
The answers everywhere
You just won't see it until
The night is growing near

So I'll wait up and watch the light
Disappear into the night
I'll know the battle was won
Once I see the stars burn bright

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
(When I'll be coming home)
Day after day never ending sleepless nights
Waking up to replay them in my mind
(Replay them in my mind)

My only prayer is that this ship that we built ourselves
Doesn't get taken by the waves
And have its pieces sent to hell
X2

I've been away fighting hard to stay alive
And I don't know when I'll be coming home
