You're Still Alive! Germany X Reader (Song Fic)

Quit complaining

And getting on my nerves

Quit feeling sorry for yourself

And looking at the dark side of everything

You were a brand new country and yet you were already in war against France. it was the night after the final battle as you felt the death toll and damages build up. I made you almost sick to feel all this. You ally, Germany was close by and soon marched over and looked at you.

“Vhat the hell are you doing (Y/N)?  Ve should be planning for the next attack.”

“Why? It’s over. He’s already raised the white flag... He knows the truth the same as me.” You glanced at yourself and soon saw small cuts bleeding even more than normal. no bandage would be able to stop this. You were done. You barely had lived a year.


I know it's not easy

And that there's often not enough

But everyone else here

Is going through the same thing as you


“So that’s it?! You’re giving up!?”

“I have to you idiot! My country’s people are dying in those tents over there!”

“As are mine!”


Who do you think you are?

What do you think this is?

Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse

And you're already giving up

Come on, pull yourself together

Free yourself from the force

That lays you in chains

That sweeps you off your feet

Life on Earth

Is a low-down, dirty war

We gamble, we fight

We risk everything for victory

You just shook your head until he picked you up by grabbing the front of your uniform.

“you’re not the only one about to be sick from the losses and the damage! You’re not the only damn country here (Y/N)! So snap out of this! We won the fight! Can’t you see this!? They died to keep what freedoms they have! This is our life! We just have to keep going and keep getting stronger! You can’t just give up after one war! you’re still alive you idiot!” You just looked at him stunned as you noticed the sobbing wounds on him as well. you both had taken some blows from France and his ally.

Hurrah! We're still alive

Who would have thought

Hurrah! We're still alive

We got lucky again

We're still here

Hurrah! We're still alive

We made it again

Hurrah! We're still alive

Now more than ever

We're really alive

He was right. you were still alive. You had gotten lucky. He didn't killed you. Your people were still free. You had made it. The pain slowly faded as this hit you and Germany just smiled. He had been acting like an older brother to you since he had been the one to first find out about you.

You don't know what you want

You don't know what you have

Soon you'll know what it's like

To miss the boat

To be honest, you should listen to him. You didn't know what you really had. He had lost a war like this once within. That was when he went dark so long ago. He knew you would have to face that one day but not now. Now was for celebrating and healing the wounds of your two countries.

You trip yourself up

You say no to everything

Wave goodbye to your life

You'll never catch up with it now

Who do you think you are

What do you think this is

Who knows if it's even worth anything

If the devil passes you by

You had been so caught up in the pain and sorrow the war made you felt that you had lost touch with your ally and your own people. They were still willing to fight. They were still brave and not hurting. There would be time for that later. That’s when the graves would be dug, the tombstones blasted with sand and flowers placed on bodies. But you had missed months of trying to help the people deal with it all. It hadn't been worth it at all.

Admit it, it's crazy

that you seek something

that you love your life

even though it curses you

It was times like now that you loved who you really were, the small but proud country of (Y/N). You hated the pain it gave you and the sorrow you felt as bombs killed hundreds but you still loved it. You loved the friends you had and the small family you claimed.

Hurrah! We're still alive

Who would have thought

Hurrah! We're still alive

We got lucky again

We're still here

Hurrah! We're still alive

We made it again

Hurrah! We're still alive

Now more than ever

We're really alive


“You’re right Ludwig.... We are alive.... now why don’t we try to figure out how to make that cheese sniffing frog pay for all this?” He laughed as he put you down and pulled you into a quick hug.

“Sure. sounds gut to me.” You both just smiled and Started the long way back to the command tent to help your bosses figure out how to make the french pay for all this pain and death.
