Verse 1
Met you around, thought you had potential.
You asked for my number, I was hesitant, but I finally let my guard down.
Conversation started off cool,
Laughing through the days, talking through the nights.
Before I knew it, we were together.
Thought I found the one,
Thought love had finally found me.
Then I started seeing signs.
You tried to isolate me,
Control who I could and couldn’t have in my life.
You tried to dim my light,
Made me question my own mind,
Made me feel like I wasn’t smart enough.
Every smile I gave, every move I made,
You swore I was cheating,
Even though I only had eyes for you.
Pre-Chorus
I looked past every red flag,
Still stayed down, still held you down.
I kept believing love could change everything,
While slowly losing pieces of me.
Chorus
I tried to be patient,
I tried to stay by your side.
Tell me, what did that get me?
A gun pointed at my life.
When I decided to walk away,
You couldn’t take goodbye.
You tried to end my life…
Instead, you ended the life of our child.
But I’m still standing…
Still breathing…
Still healing…
Still going.
Verse 2
The scars don’t always show,
Some live deep inside my soul.
There are nights I still remember,
Moments that changed me forever.
You tried to break my spirit,
Tried to make me believe I’d never be enough.
But every tear I cried
Became another reason to survive.
I carried pain that no one could see,
Grieving the future that was taken from me.
Somehow, through all the darkness,
God kept breathing life into me.
Bridge
You thought my story would end there,
But Heaven had another plan.
I’m more than what you put me through.
I’m more than every bruise.
You couldn’t silence my voice,
You couldn’t steal my purpose.
I’m still here…
And every heartbeat is proof.
Final Chorus
I tried to be patient,
I tried to stay by your side.
Tell me, what did that get me?
A gun pointed at my life.
When I chose to walk away,
You couldn’t accept my goodbye.
You tried to end my life…
Instead, you ended the life of our child.
But I’m still standing…
Still growing…
Still believing…
Still going.
Outro (Soft Spoken)
This is more than a song…
This is survival.
This is healing.
This is every woman who chose to live.
You didn’t get the final word.
I’m still standing.
I’m still here.
And I’m still going.
