[Verse 1]
House got quiet
Photos on the fridge still smile
Two empty chairs
At the table for a while
I talk out loud
Like you’re just in the next room
Learning how to live
In a world that moved too soon
[Chorus]
Even when it hurts
I’m standing
Even when I fall
I rise
When the nights feel never-ending
I can see it in my eyes
I believe in myself
I’ll keep believing in myself (oh)
When everything breaks around me
I’m still holding on to me
[Verse 2]
Friends check in
Drop off food and awkward jokes
Hold my hand
When the words get stuck in my throat
I’m not alone
Even when I feel that way
Got this little flame
That refuses to fade
[Chorus]
Even when it hurts
I’m standing
Even when I fall
I rise
When the nights feel never-ending
I can see it in my eyes
I believe in myself
I’ll keep believing in myself (yeah)
When everything breaks around me
I’m still holding on to me
[Bridge]
Some days I’m strong
Some days I’m shattered
Still I move on
Like every step matters
Carry your love
Right under my skin
Losing so much
But I won’t lose me again
[Chorus]
Even when it hurts
I’m standing
Even when I fall
I rise
When the nights feel never-ending
I can see it in my eyes
I believe in myself
I’ll keep believing in myself (oh)
When everything breaks around me
I’m still holding on to me
