Verse 1
I grew up where the shouting filled the walls,
where love got lost in alcohol… I’m still me.
I learned to hold my tenderness like light,
kept it burning through the longest nights… I’m still me.
Every bruise they never saw,
every tear I tried to swallow down —
through all of it, somehow… I’m still me.
Chorus
And through it all, I’m still me —
the heart that stayed soft when the world turned hard,
the hope that kept rising out of all those scars.
I’ve been shaken, I’ve been brought to my knees,
but the truth in my chest never lost its beat…
I’m still me.
I’m still me.
Verse 2
I loved young, believed that home would stay,
’til the morning she took our child away… I’m still me.
I learned how loss can echo in your bones,
how a grown man can feel so alone… I’m still me.
But even when the ground gave way,
some part of me refused to fade —
quiet, steady, brave… I’m still me.
Chorus
And through it all, I’m still me —
the heart that stayed soft when the world turned hard,
the hope that kept rising out of all those scars.
I’ve been shaken, I’ve been brought to my knees,
but the truth in my chest never lost its beat…
I’m still me.
I’m still me.
Bridge
Some lose themselves when the darkness comes,
some turn cold just to feel like they’re strong —
but every storm that tried to change my name
only carved me deeper into who I am.
And even when the world rewrote my story,
the soul stayed steady underneath… I’m still me.
Final Chorus / Outro
And through it all, I’m still me —
not untouched, but unbroken,
a survivor made of honesty.
Every heartbreak shaped me,
every trial refined me,
but never once erased me…
I’m still me.
Still me…
I’m still me.
