Surviving

Verse 1

It starts so quiet, like a pulse in my chest

No sound at all, but it won’t let me rest

My thoughts are running, I try to breathe slow

But the walls keep closing wherever I go

Pre-Chorus

I don’t know what’s real anymore

But I’m holding on through the war

Chorus

I’m surviving, even when I break down

When my heart keeps racing, spinning around

Through the darkness, through everything

I’m still here — I feel something

I’m surviving, when it’s all too much

When I’m drowning in thoughts I can’t outrun or touch

One day at a time, that’s all I need

And for now, somehow… I’m still breathing

⸻

Verse 2

The mirror whispers things I don’t believe

But the voice won’t fade, it won’t let me leave

I count the seconds just to stay upright

While the world moves on and I fade from sight

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere deep there’s a flicker of light

Even when I’m lost in the night

⸻

Chorus

I’m surviving, even when I break down

When my heart keeps racing, spinning around

Through the darkness, through everything

I’m still here — I feel something

I’m surviving, when it’s all too much

When I’m drowning in thoughts I can’t outrun or touch

One day at a time, that’s all I need

And for now, somehow… I’m still breathing

⸻

Bridge

Maybe strength isn’t never falling apart

Maybe it’s staying when it’s tearing your heart

All the battles I fight alone

Are proof that I’m still holding on

⸻

Final Chorus (soft → powerful)

I’m surviving… in a silent fight

Even when I’m losing light

I take one step, then one again

And that’s enough — I’m still standing

I’m surviving, more than I was before

Even when anxiety knocks at my door

I’m still here, I haven’t gone

And that’s enough — I’m holding on
