One Direction – Alive Lyrics

My mother told me I should go and get some therapy
I asked the doctor, “Can you find out what is wrong with me?
I don’t know why I wanna be with every girl I meet.¹
I can’t control it.
Yeah, I know it’s taking over me.
I’m going crazy.
Can’t contain it.²
So tell me just what I should do?”³

She said, “Hey, it’s alright.
Does it make you feel alive?⁴
Don’t look back,
Live your life,
Even if it’s only for tonight.”⁵
She said, “Hey, it’s alright
If it makes you feel alive.”

Went to a party just after the doctor talked to me
I met a girl, I took her right up to the balcony⁶
I whispered something in her ear that I just can’t repeat⁷
She said, “OK,” but she was worried what her friends will think⁸
She’s going crazy
Can’t contain it
She asked me, “What should I do, oh?”⁹

I said, “Hey, it’s alright.
Does it make you feel alive?
Don’t look back,
Live your life,
Even if it’s only for tonight.”
I said, “Hey, it’s alright
If it makes you feel alive.”¹⁰

We got to live before we get older
Do what we like
We got nothing to lose¹¹
Shake off the weight of the world from your shoulders
Oh, we got nothing to prove¹²

I said, “Hey, it’s alright.
Does it make you feel alive?
Don’t look back,
Live your life,
Even if it’s only for tonight.”

I said, “Hey, it’s alright.
Does it make you feel alive?
Don’t look back,
Live your life,
Even if it’s only for tonight.”
I said, “Hey, it’s alright
If it makes you feel alive.”¹³
