Intro
I seem strong, but inside I'm a wreck,
no one sees how much weight I carry.
You talk a lot, but remain just a facade,
I go my own way, no matter what you know.
Chorus
I don't stand still in life like you,
you stay in the same place, I march through the war.
Talk all you want, I don't listen to you,
because in the end I'm standing here – and you just watch.
I don't stand still in life like you,
my scars are real, your words are just greed.
I'll show you the strength that comes from pain,
while you stand still, I've redefined myself.
Verse 1
I seem strong, yes, but that didn't come for free,
every night full of doubt, every day a fight against myself.
You talk about dreams, but you'd rather fall asleep,
I stay awake with the demons and learn to be strong.
I've fallen so many times I know the ground,
but it was right there down that I learned who I am.
You laugh at weakness, but know no pain,
I wear my mistakes tattooed on my heart.
Chorus
Talk, talk, talk – I just keep walking,
your voices grow quieter, my will grows stronger.
You stop when things get uncomfortable,
I move forward, even when everything inside freezes.
Refrain
I won't stand still in life like you,
no brakes in my head, no more fear inside me.
Talk all you want, this is my territory,
I'll build my tomorrow out of blood and paper.
I won't stand still in life like you,
you're shadows in the light, I'll stay real, I'll stay here.
Verse 2
You want to explain to me what strength means here,
but you were never alone when everything fell apart.
I hunger for more than applause and respect,
I want freedom of mind, even if the price tears me apart.
I'm no role model, no angel, no star,
just a human being with too much anger and too little sleep.
But it's precisely this anger that keeps me alive,
while you stand still and hope that paths will open up.
Chorus
I don't stand still in life like you do,
my path is made of glass, but I'm still here.
Talk all you want, I have nothing to lose,
because standing still is death – and I still have too much to risk.
Outro
I seem strong, but I'm a wreck,
but that's exactly what has given me strength.
While you stand still, I move forward,
and in the end, I'll show you what can be made from pain.
