  • Demi leaves rehab again
    When is this shit gonna end?
    Sounds like a voice in my head
    I can't believe I'm not dead

    I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
    I survived, but it got harder to breathe
    Asking why doesn't make it easier, go easier on me
    God damn it, I just wanna be free
    But I can't 'cause it's a fucking disease
    I'm alive by the skin of my

    Woo-ooh, woo-ooh

    The reaper knocks on my door
    'Cause I'm addicted to more
    I don't need you to keep score
    When I'm the one who's at war

    I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
    I survived, but it got harder to breathe
    Asking why doesn't make it easier, go easier on me
    God damn it, I just wanna be free
    But I can't 'cause it's a fucking disease
    I'm alive by the skin of my

    I'm just trying to keep my head above water
    I'm your son and I'm your daughter
    I'm your mother, I'm your father
    I'm just a product of the problem

    I'm just trying to keep my head above water
    I'm your son and I'm your daughter
    I'm your mother, I'm your father
    I'm alive

    I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
    Won't you try and have some mercy on me?
    Asking why doesn't make it easier, go easier on me
    God damn it, I just wanna be free
    But I can't 'cause it's a fucking disease
    I'm alive by the skin of my

    Woo-ooh (alive)
    Woo-ooh (I'm alive by)
    Woo-ooh (the skin of my teeth) Writer/s: Aaron Jennings Puckett, Alex Vincent Niceforo, Demitria Lovato, Keith Roger Sorrells, Laura Jeanne Veltz, Warren Felder
