Survival Lyrics

The Verve Pipe

I partied hard on the first tier, but I burned a lot of bridges and then
I'm a photograph that was torn in half and I'll never be invited again

Hey, it's okay, I don't care, I don't mind
You know I'm gonna be just fine
Well my first home was a real milestone it had everything that I ever earned
Then one bare wire and roof caught fire I said burn, mother, burn

When the world shut me out, I was pretty lucky that you let me in
You're all I need to face another day
Whenever I'm in a bind, there's really only one thing I keep in mind
You are all I ever need to survive

When life depends on some pretend friends I guess you get the life you deserve
I'm a played out fad in a world gone mad And I'll fade without striking a nerve
I used to sit and worry that I ruined my reputation
It was the hardest thing that I ever had to face
But now I'm free of guilt and I'm free of all complication
It's simple, but it's true it's all because of you that

Whenever I'm in a bind, there's really only one thing I keep in mind
You are all I ever need to survive
