Lyrics

(Intro – clean guitar, slow build)

Yeah…

I’ve been down before.

But I’m still here.

⸻

(Verse 1)

Woke up with the weight of yesterday

Same old doubts tryna pull me down again

Mirror says I’m older than I feel

But my heart still wants somethin’ real

I’ve been bruised by the things I can’t forget

Words that cut deeper than regret

But I’m tired of livin’ scared of the fall

I didn’t come this far just to crawl

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve been lost, I’ve been low

I’ve been fightin’ this alone

But I hear somethin’ in my chest tonight

Sayin’ it ain’t over yet

⸻

(CHORUS – BIG, ANTHEMIC)

🎶 I’m still standin’ when I should be broken,

Still breathin’ through the smoke and the open wounds,

Every scar got a story I’ve spoken,

Every loss taught me somethin’ I can’t lose,

You can knock me down, yeah I’ve been there,

But I won’t stay buried in the past,

I’m still standin’…

Yeah I’m still standin’ at last. 🎶

⸻

(Verse 2)

I’ve made friends with my demons inside

Learned they don’t leave, they just change sides

Some nights feel heavier than hell

But I’m stronger than the lies I tell myself

I’ve seen love turn cold overnight

Watched good things fade out of sight

But I’m done lettin’ pain be my name

I’m done livin’ life in the flames

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve been close to givin’ in

Felt the walls closin’ again

But there’s a fire I can’t deny

Still burnin’ deep inside

⸻

(CHORUS – REPEAT (BIGGER)

🎶 I’m still standin’ when I should be broken,

Still breathin’ through the smoke and the open wounds,

Every scar got a story I’ve spoken,

Every loss taught me somethin’ I can’t lose,

You can knock me down, yeah I’ve been there,

But I won’t stay buried in the past,

I’m still standin’…

Yeah I’m still standin’ at last. 🎶

⸻

(Bridge – breakdown then rise)

Maybe I’m not perfect

Maybe I’m a mess

But I’m done lettin’ fear decide

Who I am next

If this is my moment

I’m takin’ it back

I won’t fade out quietly

I’m stronger than that

⸻

(FINAL CHORUS – FULL BAND, CROWD READY)

🎶 I’m still standin’ when I should be broken,

Still breathin’ through the smoke and the open wounds,

Every scar got a story I’ve spoken,

Every loss taught me somethin’ I can’t lose,

You can knock me down, yeah I’ve been there,

But I won’t stay buried in the past,

I’m still standin’…

Yeah I’m still standin’ at last. 🎶

⸻

(Outro – stripped, emotional)

I’m still here.

And that means everything.
