[Verse 1]
I gave my name to the night
Let it borrow my fire
Watched it fade in their hands
Like a worn-out desire
I was gold in the rain
Still they asked for more
Left my echo in rooms
That won’t say my name anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m learning now
What my heart is worth
I don’t owe the dark
All the light on Earth
[Chorus]
I’m still standing in the light
Even bruised, I’m alive
I won’t dim just to survive
I won’t break just to be liked
If the world couldn’t hold my truth
That’s not something I’ll lose
I’m still standing in the light
And I’m stronger tonight
[Drop / Instrumental Hook]
[Euphoric, wide chords — hopeful, not aggressive]
[Verse 2]
I mistook hunger for love
Mistook need for fate
Let them drink from my soul
Till there was nothing to take
But the cracks in my chest
Let the real me through
I’m not empty — I’m open
And that still makes me true
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don’t need to bleed
To prove I care
I can choose who stays
I can still be fair
[Chorus]
I’m still standing in the light
Even tired, I can rise
I won’t change who I am inside
Just to keep someone by my side
If my kindness scared the wrong ones away
That’s a price I’m proud to pay
I’m still standing in the light
And I’ll be okay
[Bridge, Breakdown – emotional, minimal beat]
Maybe I was never weak
Maybe I was brave too soon
Gave the stars to people
Who were scared of the moon
I don’t regret the love I gave
I regret forgetting me
So I’m drawing the line
Where my soul stays free
[Final Chorus, Bigger, evolved]
I’m still standing in the light
With my boundaries and my fire
I won’t shrink, I won’t apologize
For a heart that aims higher
I’ll bring joy — but not at my cost
I’ll give love — but I won’t get lost
I’m still standing in the light
And I trust myself tonight
[Outro]
Still kind…
Still here…
Still standing.
