overlived
Lasted too long
Overlived is the past tense of overlive, meaning to live longer than someone or something else, or to outlast: She overlived her husband by twenty years.
It can also mean to live beyond a certain point or period: He had overlived his usefulness.
The word is literary and old-fashioned; outlived is far more common in contemporary usage.
