I didn’t think I’d make it past thirteen
I was so scared of growing up
Didn’t think I could handle the pressure
I felt like enough was enough
So I made a plan but I never
Went through with it at the time
And I’m glad I didn’t cause look at everything I’ve done
And the decade that’s flown by

I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
And I know dark days will come, but I’m not afraid
‘Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed

I didn’t think that I’d make it past sixteen
I was in love with someone who did everything he could to break me
And I couldn’t escape so I thought maybe this is the end
But thank god it wasn’t cause look at the future I had ahead

I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
And I know dark days will come, but I’m not afraid
Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed

I never thought I would actually be happy
I was so consumed by my own suffering
So if you hear this, I hope you keep pressing on
Just roll down the windows and turn on this song and sing along

I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright

I’m glad to be alive
I’m glad that I survived
Cause when I look at my life
It’s so bright, yeah it’s so bright
And I know that the dark days will come, but I’m not afraid
Cause no matter what, I’m glad I stayed

I’m glad I stayed

I’m glad I stayed
