[Verse 1]
She kept the photos in a drawer
Fingers on the edge of the floor
Names she still says in the dark
Like a match struck hard in the park
She learned to smile through the weight
Learned how to carry the ache
When the house went quiet and cold
She held on, she held on
[Pre-Chorus]
And every scar had a story
Every night tried to take her down
But she stood in the wreckage
Said, "I'm still here now"
[Chorus]
Still breathing, still breathing
After all of that, still breathing
Still reaching, still reaching
You can't bury a heart like that
She was built from the break
She was made to outlast
Still breathing, still breathing
And nothing takes that back
(still breathing)
[Verse 2]
She has seen the kind of rain
That turns the roads into pain
Watched the ones she loved slip away
Then got up and walked anyway
There were days she wanted to fold
Days her hands turned to stone
But she lit a fire with her tears
And came back loud and clear
[Pre-Chorus]
And every scar had a story
Every night tried to take her down
But she stood in the wreckage
Said, "I'm still here now"
[Chorus]
Still breathing, still breathing
After all of that, still breathing
Still reaching, still reaching
You can't bury a heart like that
She was built from the break
She was made to outlast
Still breathing, still breathing
And nothing takes that back
(still breathing)
[Bridge]
Let it shake, let it shake
Let the whole world know
What was meant to end her
Only made her glow
She lost a lot
She lost a lot
But not the flame
Not the spark
Not the part that says
"I rise again"
[Final Chorus]
Still breathing, still breathing
After all of that, still breathing
Still reaching, still reaching
You can't bury a heart like that
She was built from the break
She was made to outlast
Still breathing, still breathing
And nothing takes that back
Still breathing, still breathing
Tell me who can stop that
Still breathing, still breathing
She turned the pain into her song
(still breathing)
