Still Standing Loud

(Verse 1)

I remember nights I barely slept

Heart racing, head full of doubt

I was scared of the mess I’d become

If I ever let it all out

Now I wear my scars like diamonds

Every crack lets the light rush in

You tried to write me a ending

But this is where I begin

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t flinch when I hear your name

It don’t hit like it used to do

I made peace with the hurt you gave

Now I’m dangerous without you

(Chorus)

I’m still standing loud

Hear my truth hit the ground

I don’t shake, I don’t break

I don’t beg for you now

I was lost, I was low

But I found my way out

You tried to tear me down

I’m still standing loud

(Verse 2)

I was bleeding just to be chosen

Calling love what was control

Now I know what devotion is

When I’m whole on my own

I don’t need you to believe me

I don’t need you to stay

I forgave you for my freedom

Then I walked away

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t silence my voice for peace

I don’t soften my truth to fit

If my power makes you uneasy

That’s not my weight to lift

(Chorus)

I’m still standing loud

Hear my truth hit the ground

I don’t shake, I don’t break

I don’t beg for you now

I was lost, I was low

But I found my way out

You tried to tear me down

I’m still standing loud

(Bridge)(strip back → rise)

I don’t flinch at the thunder

I don’t hide from the flame

Every time you tried to break me

You just taught me my strength

Say I’m too much, say I’ve changed

Say I shine too bright now

I didn’t come this far to whisper

I’m not afraid to be loud

(Final Chorus)(full power)

I’m still standing loud

Every tear paid off now

I survived, I arrived

I’m unstoppable now

I was lost, I was low

But I found my way out

You tried to tear me down

I’m still standing—

Still standing loud

(Outro)

I don’t need your silence

I don’t need your doubt

I found my voice in the fire

And I’m never putting it out
