Only Ever
Alive City Lyrics

Tripping on my thoughts and it's hard to breathe
My mind is racing and overwhelming me, suffocating my ability to think clearly.

I've been feeling all alone but they'll never see
Despite feeling isolated and lonely, those around me are unable to recognize my struggle.

I've been slowly breaking
I have been gradually losing strength and functionality.

So why won't You come save me
I need someone to rescue me and ease my suffering.

Tried to fix my soul without
I attempted to heal myself without external help or support.

Tried to find a way somehow
I sought solutions and remedies to my problems in various ways.

Picking up the pieces now
I am trying to gather and mend the fragments of my broken self.

I know I'll only ever need You, only ever
I have come to realize that the only thing I require to feel whole is You.

Tried to find something to chase
I attempted to pursue something to bring meaning or purpose to my life.

Waited for my heart to change
I hoped that my emotions or desires would transform over time.

Now I can never be the same
I have acquired a new perspective that has forever changed who I am.

'Cause I'll only ever need You, only ever
Because of my realization, I now recognize that You are the only thing I require to find happiness.

Clinging to the past never set me free
Holding onto my past only kept me from moving forward and becoming free.

I learn to trust Your love when it's hard to see
Even when it is difficult to perceive, I am learning to rely on and have faith in Your love.

I've been healing slowly
I am in the process of recovering and becoming whole again.

'Cause through my pain You grow me
Amidst the difficulties and struggles, You are cultivating and nurturing me to become a stronger person.

I know You will never change
Even though I may falter and lose my way, Your love and support is steadfast and unwavering.

But I got lost in my mistakes
Despite understanding this truth, I still made errors and lost sight of what was truly important.

And I know You will never change
I reiterate my belief and trust that You will remain constant and unchanging.

But I got lost along the way
Nevertheless, I found myself straying from the path You had set for me.

Only ever
In the end, I realize that You are the only thing I need in this world.

Only ever need You, only ever
The only true source of fulfillment and contentment comes from You.
