Verse 1
There’s a war in my mind, there’s a storm in my chest,
Some days I’m a fighter, some days I’m a mess.
Got scars on my skin from the battles I fight,
Some from the dark, some from just tryin’ to survive.
PTSD whispers, cancer don’t care,
Pain keeps on knockin’ like it plans to stay there.
And Drew, I’m so sorry for the hurt that I’ve done,
It tears me apart when I see what I’ve become.
Pre-Chorus
I’m tryin’ to trust you, I swear that I am,
But sometimes my mind don’t follow my plans.
I overthink, I doubt, I get lost in the fear,
But my heart still wants you right here.
Chorus
We can’t stop cancer, we can’t stop time,
Can’t fix every wrong, can’t heal every line.
But I’m still here fightin’, still holdin’ on,
Even when the nights feel too long.
If love is a reason, then that’s why I stay,
I’m not done yet — I just hurt this way.
Verse 2
Junior and Frank, my boys, my pride,
I carry your names on the hurt inside.
Some days it feels like you don’t need me around,
And that breaks my heart more than any bad news I’ve found.
Abby, Laney, Keighliana too,
Every breath I take, I’m thinkin’ of you.
If I ever failed you, please know I tried,
I loved you all harder than I show sometimes.
Pre-Chorus 2
This body is weak, but my heart still stands,
Still reachin’ for hope with shaky hands.
I’m tired, I’m scared, but I’m still here,
Still choosing tomorrow over fear.
Chorus
We can’t stop cancer, we can’t stop the pain,
Can’t stop the memories runnin’ through my brain.
But I’m still here fightin’, still holdin’ on,
Even when the nights feel too long.
If love is a reason, then that’s why I stay,
I’m not done yet — I just hurt this way.
Bridge
Drew, if you’re listenin’, please understand,
I never meant to break what we had in our hands.
I love you deeper than I know how to say,
Even when my demons get in the way.
Final Chorus
We can’t stop cancer, but we can still try,
Still laugh, still love, still reach for the sky.
And if I get quiet, if I seem far away,
Just know I’m still here — I’m just fightin’ my way.
Don’t give up on me, I’m not gone, I’m still here,
Still clingin’ to love, still clingin’ to you all, my dear.
Outro
And if tomorrow comes heavy and hard,
I’ll still choose love, I’ll still choose my heart.
We can’t stop cancer…
But I’m still here. And I’m still yours.
