Still standing here

Title: “Still Standing Here”

Verse 1 – Female

Met you under neon lights, slot machines humming low

Two tired hearts in a broken place, neither one of us home

I was scared but you saw me, even when I was a mess

I didn’t know that night would lead me here to this

Verse 2 – Male

I remember that smile hiding all that pain

I was drowning too, just trying to stay sane

I didn’t have the answers, just an honest hand

But I knew I wasn’t walking away if you’d stand

Chorus – Both (Female leads, Male harmonizes)

We’re still standing here, hand in hand

Three kids deep, doing the best we can

Same job, same clock, same worn-out days

But we come home to love, not run away

Some days break us, some nights test our faith

But we never walk away

Yeah life gets hard, but one thing’s clear

We’re still standing here

Verse 3 – Female

We both fought those demons, some nights I almost quit

I know you saw the worst of me and stayed with it

There were tears in the bathroom, prayers on the floor

I didn’t think my heart could take one night more

Verse 4 – Male

I won’t lie, it got heavy, I almost lost my way

But you pulled me back every time I’d shake

When the past came calling, you didn’t let me fall

You reminded me we survived it all

Chorus – Both (Stronger)

Yeah we’re still standing here, scars and all

Learned how to rise every time we fall

Bills piled high, stress runs deep

But you’re the reason I can sleep

Some days hurt more than they should

But we choose love like we promised we would

Through every doubt and every fear

We’re still standing here

Bridge – Back and Forth (Conversation)

Female: Do you ever get scared we’re one step away?

Male: Every day… but I ain’t leaving, I’m staying.

Female: When the weight gets heavy and I can’t breathe—

Male: I’ll carry you the way you carried me.

Final Chorus – Both (Emotional Harmony)

Yeah we’re still standing here, hearts held tight

We prayed our way through the darkest nights

From a casino floor to a family home

We built a life we can call our own

Some days are heavy, some days are rough

But quitting never crossed our love

As long as you’re right here, my dear

We’re still standing here
