[Verse 1]
I've loved you for a long time
You were so easy to love
Keep it alive, give it some water
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
[Verse 2]
Don’t say it doesn't bother you
Tell me, are you lonely too?
Don't give it time, it needs a transfusion
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
[Verse 3]
You swallowed me whole back then
Held my head in your hands
Don’t give me space, it leads to confusion
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
[Pre-Chorus]
I need a blood transfusion soon, from you
'Cause I know I've loved you better
I need a blood transfusion soon, from you
I want to glue us back together
[Chorus]
I know you've had enough of me
And I have had enough of you
But don't let it slide, we're deep underwater
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
I don't know what you're going through
Tell me what got lost in you
Just throw me a rope, I won’t push you further
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive
[Bridge]
It taste like ashes, but I smile and I smile and I smile
It taste like ashes
It taste like ashes, but I smile and I smile and I smile
It taste like ashes
It taste like ashes, but I smile and I smile and I smile
It taste like ashes
It taste like ashes, but I smile and I smile and I smile
It taste like ashes
[Outro]
I need a blood transfusion soon, from you
’Cause I know I've loved you better
I need a blood transfusion soon, from you
I want to glue us back together
