Verse 1
I’ve been holding the weight of too many years
Learning how to live with unspoken fears
I grew strong in places no one could see
Survived things that were never meant for me
I learned how to smile when my heart was torn
How to keep going when hope felt worn
I don’t look like what I’ve been through
But I carry every scar, every truth
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t get here untouched
I got here alive
Chorus
I’m still breathing, still standing here
Still choosing love through the fear
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bent
But I was never meant to end
The world may have tried to take my light
But it didn’t win the fight
I’m still breathing—this is me
And that alone is victory
Verse 2
I loved with everything inside my chest
Even when it cost me more than the rest
I gave my heart without a guard
And paid the price, but I’d do it again—God
Because love like that is holy
Even when it hurts this deep
I became a mother for a moment
And that love will always keep
I carry loss, but I carry grace
I carry heaven in my space
And some days I fall apart
But I still wake up with a beating heart
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t break
I changed
Chorus
I’m still breathing, still learning how
To live with the ache inside me now
I’ve cried oceans, screamed at the sky
But I’m still here—and so is why
I don’t need fixing, I don’t need proof
I am the outcome of survival and truth
I’m still breathing—this is me
And that is strength nobody sees
Bridge
Faith met me in the lowest place
When all I had were shattered prayers
God didn’t rush my healing
He just stayed right there
I don’t have all the answers now
I just have courage to continue somehow
And that has to count for something
Because giving up never did
Chorus (soft, lifted)
I’m still breathing, still holding on
Still choosing morning after dawn
I am more than what I lost
More than the pain, more than the cost
I carry love that didn’t fade
I carry stories I survived
I’m still breathing—this is me
And I am worthy of this life
Outro
I don’t need the world to understand
What it took to make me stand
I know who I am beneath the ache
I’m still breathing—for my own sake
