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
