  • Of all people, you survived
    When no one else could stay alive
    You know you should be dead
    But you're alive instead

    Of all people, you survived
    No matter how fuckin' hard you tried
    You know you should be dead
    But you're alive instead

    I saw your face today, I thought I'd seen a ghost
    A memory that I had prayed I'd finally lost
    And you live happily ever after
    How can you live happily ever after?
    Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

    Of all people, you survived
    When no one else could stay alive
    You know you should be gone
    You're not the only one

    Of all people, you survived
    No matter how fuckin' hard you tried
    You know you should be dead
    You're still inside my head

    I heard your voice today and then I stopped to cry
    I had to ask myself, why? Oh, why?
    And you live happily ever after
    How can you live happily ever after?
    Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

    I saw your face today, I swore I'd seen a ghost
    A memory that I had prayed I'd finally lost
    And you live happily ever after
    How can you live happily ever after?
    Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

    Of all people, you survived
    Of all people, you survived
    Of all people, you survived Writer/s: Chris Shiflett, Dave Grohl, Ilan Rubin, Mark "Spike" Stent, Nate Mendel, Omar Roman, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee, Randy Merrill
