[Verse 1]
Knuckles white on the guardrail
Breath stuck deep in my chest
Every memory like shrapnel
Digging under my flesh
Laughing at my own reflection
Like
“who the hell is that?”
All these stories in my skin
I keep losing track
[Chorus]
I’m holding on to a lifeline on the ledge
Heart too big
It’s dragging off the edge
Every scar is screaming in my head
But I’m still here
Yeah
I’m still here
I’m fighting in a war that no one sees
Bleeding out from loving everything
If my weakness is this heart that beats
Then I’ll bleed clear
’Cause I’m still here
[Verse 2]
Second-guess every heartbeat
Turn my kindness into blame
Turn my trust into a target
Then I wear all of the shame
I keep patching up the world
With a torn-up soul and hands
Who’s gonna stitch me back
When I can’t even stand? (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’m holding on to a lifeline on the ledge
Heart too big
It’s dragging off the edge
Every scar is screaming in my head
But I’m still here
Yeah
I’m still here
I’m fighting in a war that no one sees
Bleeding out from loving everything
If my weakness is this heart that beats
Then I’ll bleed clear
’Cause I’m still here
[Bridge]
I’m not your cure
I’m not your crutch
I’m more than all the ways I’ve been cut
If love’s the wound
I won’t confess
I’ll wear it like a shield on my chest (woah)
[Chorus]
I’m holding on to a lifeline on the ledge
Heart too big
It’s dragging off the edge
Every scar is screaming in my head
But I’m still here
Yeah
I’m still here
I’m fighting in a war that no one sees
Bleeding out from loving everything
If my weakness is this heart that beats
Then I’m strong here
’Cause I’m still here
