I learned to breathe in empty rooms
Where love was loud but never true
I carried weight I couldn’t choose
Still tied my shoes and followed through
They said I’d break, they said I’d fold
That I was too quiet, too controlled
But fire doesn’t need to shout
It burns from deep, it figures out
I’ve been tired, I’ve been scared
I’ve screamed into the air
But every night I made a vow
I’m still standing here right now
I’m still walking through the dark
With my hands shaking, but my heart
Knows the way even when I don’t
I bend, I bleed, but I don’t go
I’ve lost pieces, lost some years
Learned to live with all these fears
But if this road is all I see
I’ll walk it till it walks with me
I was taught to stay small and still
To swallow truth, to break my will
But something in me wouldn’t die
A quiet voice that said “Don’t hide”
I don’t need crowns, I don’t need fame
I just need peace, I need my name
Spoken gently, spoken clear
I’m still here, yeah I’m still here
Every scar is proof I tried
Every tear I never lied
I didn’t quit, I didn’t run
I stayed when leaving felt like fun
I’m still walking through the dark
With my hands shaking, but my heart
Knows the way even when I don’t
I bend, I bleed, but I don’t go
I’ve lost pieces, lost some years
Learned to live with all these fears
But if this road is all I see
I’ll walk it till it walks with me
Maybe hope is just a spark
In a world that loves the dark
But I guard it like my life
‘Cause it saved me every night
I don’t know where I’ll end up
But I know what I’m made of
And that’s enough to move ahead
With everything I’ve never said
I’m still walking, head held low
But my steps are mine to own
If the sky falls, let it fall
I’ve survived worse, I recall
I don’t need saving, I don’t wait
I carve my future from my fate
I’m not done, I’m not gone
I’m the proof I still go on
Still walking…
Still here…
Still me.
