Well, there's a smile on my face, and I'm not saying it's a lie
But it's only the front page in a book where someone dies
And I can't really explain it, but somewhere along the line
I started feeling all my feelings at exactly the same time
And I'm an optimist by trade and I choose to see the light
But if I'm honest, I need breaks to rub the darkness from my eyes
You call it naivety, I simply call it survivin'
My mental frame, it wasn't made to sustain all of this violence
Being alive, being alive
I think it's killin' me, I, killin' me, I-
I feel everything, each little part
Being alive, being alive
I think it's killin' me, I, killin' me, I-
Cause I feel everything with this big stupid heart
With this big stupid heart
And I'm drawn to innocent spaces like a moth to something bright
And I live for the conversations where the tears fill up my eyes
But I crash hard into the pavement when I'm abruptly reminded
That part of the human nature has an evil deep inside it
And I'm an optimist by trade and I choose to see the light
But if I'm honest, I need breaks to rub the darkness from my eyes
You call it naivety, I simply call it survivin'
My mental frame, it wasn't made to sustain all of this violence
Being alive, being alive
I think it's killin' me, I, killin' me, I-
I feel everything, each little part
Being alive, being alive
I think it's killin' me, I, killin' me, I-
Cause I feel everything with this big stupid heart
With this big stupid heart
This big stupid heart
Big stupid heart
Big stupid heart
With this big stupid heart
