“Half Alive“ was first teased with two snippets on bear’s Instagram story on April 7, 2020 – a long snippet and shorter one. He also teased the lyrics alongside the Instagram story, further hinting at its release.
[Verse 1]
You barely left me with the air to breathe
You took it all and now I see the truth
See through your plastic-covered lies
I'm driving through Mullholland
Wish I’d swerved and never fallen
Shoulda seen right through the gap between her thighs
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my heart, my clothes
Take everything I own
Spend my money, spend my time
Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to die
No one makes it out alive
[Chorus]
I'm at the bar downtown
The one we used to go to all of the time
Already halfway dead
The way you left me, girl, I'm half alive
Yeah, I’m half alive
And about that night, and about that night
I was super drunk, I was hella high
I'm at the bar downtown
The one we used to go to all of the time
And I'm half alive
[Verse 2]
A little bit longer, I'll be waiting
I'm a goner, fuck this fake shit
Why you let me down forever?
I wanna be honest, girl, quit playin'
Can we try and, try and save this?
Turn me to a loner
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you can take my heart, my clothes
Take everything I own
Spend my money, spend my time
Lay me down to rest
Lay me down to die
No one makes it out alive
[Chorus]
I'm at the bar downtown
The one we used to go to all of the time
Already halfway dead
The way you left me, girl, I'm half alive
Yeah, I’m half alive
And about that night, and about that night
I was super drunk, I was hella high
I’m at the bar downtown
The one we used to go to all of the time
And I'm half alive
[Bridge]
Halfway dead, just the way you left me
I’ll be halfway dead, just the way you left me
I'll be halfway dead, just the way you left me
I'll be halfway dead
[Chorus]
I'm at the bar downtown
The one we used to go to all of the time
Already halfway dead
The way you left me, girl, I’m half alive
Yeah, I'm half alive
And about that night, and about that night
I was super drunk, I was hella high
I'm at the bar downtown
The one we used to go to all of the time
And I'm half alive
[Outro]
And I'm half alive

It’s basically “me & ur ghost” on crack. It’s a song of nostalgia. It’s like, “I’m going to these places that we used to go together.” This time I wanted to team up with Marshmello. I played the bass on it and Marshmello was just like, “Dude, that’s it. That’s going to be the chorus.” That wasn’...
