“Half Alive” Lyrics ^[4]
Song by Mckenna Grace:

Verse 1
I clean the floor with all the tears left here before me
Diggin’ my heels into the dirt, won’t fall to my knees
And all the vultures who want me dead say they adore me
I’m scared to sleep cause so much changes by the morning
I’m barely holding on

My finest ribbons on as I walk to the gallows
I try but I’m defined by all that I can’t let go
So call me vile, cruel and bad like I’m an animal
Tell me to beg and bare my teeth like some sick joke
Watch as the man plays God

Chorus
Won’t hang my head, won’t plead for my life
They’ll leave me here broken, so just stay by my side
We feel the unspoken, the look in your eyes
Promise you’ll hold me, when I’m half alive

Verse 2
I was a sister once, I carry that love closely
Somehow it haunts me where I go like that role chose me
I say I’m mean and tough and I don’t care ’cause I’m not weak 
But if tomorrow was my last, hope someone mourns me
Watch as they all applaud

Chorus
Won’t hang my head, won’t plead for my life
They’ll leave me here broken so just stay by my side
We feel the unspoken, the look in your eyes
Promise you’ll hold me when I’m half alive

Bridge
Nobody cares or knows you ’til you’re just a body
I fought I pulled away but you, you always saw me
You’re bruised and bloody, and I’m trying to act softly
Oh I’m … half alive
Promise you’ll hold me when I’m half alive
