Title: “Still Standing Here”

Verse 1
Same shop lights, same late nights
Clock don’t care what I’ve been through
Hands still cut, knuckles busted
Trying to build something that holds true

Bills stack up, dreams pushed back
Promises I swore I’d keep
Everybody sees the hustle
They don’t see what it costs me

Pre-Chorus
Yeah I smile like it’s all alright
But that ain’t what keeps me up at night

Chorus
I’ve been holding the weight of a world that don’t slow down
Trying to fix everything while I’m breaking right now
If you looked a little closer, you’d see it clear
I’m tired as hell but I’m still standing here

Yeah I carry the pressure, yeah I carry the fear
But I don’t let it show, I just shift another gear
If I fall, I fall, but I won’t disappear
I’m tired as hell but I’m still standing here

⸻

Verse 2
Love gets hard when life gets heavy
Words don’t land the way they should
Trying to be everything for everybody
But I’m misunderstood

Home don’t feel like rest no more
Just another place to think
About everything I should’ve fixed
And everything on the brink

Pre-Chorus
Yeah I say that I’m doing fine
But I’m barely holding that line

Chorus
I’ve been holding the weight of a world that don’t slow down
Trying to fix everything while I’m breaking right now
If you looked a little closer, you’d see it clear
I’m tired as hell but I’m still standing here

Yeah I carry the pressure, yeah I carry the fear
But I don’t let it show, I just shift another gear
If I fall, I fall, but I won’t disappear
I’m tired as hell but I’m still standing here

⸻

Bridge
Ain’t no handbook for this life I chose
Just scars and lessons nobody knows
Every loss just sharpens the fight
Every dark just proves there’s light

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger)
Yeah I’ve been holding the weight but I ain’t going down
Yeah I bend, I break, but I don’t back out
You can doubt, you can watch, you can stand and stare
But I built this pain, yeah it got me here

Yeah I carry the pressure, yeah I carry the fear
Turn it into fuel every single year
And if I fall, I swear I’ll reappear
Yeah I’m tired as hell but I’m still standing here
