[Intro]
Still breathing in the dark
Still standing where I fell
Another night to prove
I didn’t disappear
[Verse 1]
I learned how to laugh before I learned to heal
Jokes like armor kept the damage sealed
Family showed me how to stand my ground
Not much peace but roots held down
Talked fast learned sharp stayed alert
Found out early how the world works
If you pause too long you fall behind
So I kept moving one step at a time
[Pre-Chorus]
Stopped waiting on the truth to land
Started playing the cards in my hand
[Chorus]
I’m still here yeah I took my hits
Lost my footing never lost this
Heart still beats humor still swings
I bend I bruise but I don’t break things
I ain’t disposable never was
I survive first the rest comes after
[Verse 2]
Some nights I lie awake and feel it all
Every hope I held every time I fall
Miss the way it burned to trust to care
Miss believing someone’d meet me there
I give too much my chest still aches
Learned it hard still every choice I make
I’d risk it all again without pause
That’s what it costs to open your cause
[Pre-Chorus]
Learned real quick what to let go
Some fights cost more than you know
[Chorus]
I’m still here yeah I took my hits
Lost some ground never lost my grit
Some stayed solid when the rest went thin
That kind of loyalty pulls you in
I ain’t disposable never was
I survive first the rest comes after
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I love easy yeah I always have
Fall in quick don’t overplan
When I’m in I’m in all the way
I don’t half-stay I don’t halfway
Words sound good actions don’t
I stay solid most people won’t
Still here now still holding ground
Trying to build without burning it down
[Bass Solo]
[Bridge]
There were nights with nowhere to land
Just me the dark an open hand
Didn’t turn cruel didn’t turn cold
Just got tired of being sold
Didn’t quit didn’t cave in
Just learned how to live with the skin
[Chorus]
I’m still here yeah I took my hits
Still standing in the middle of it
Still learning how to speak my mind
Without burning what I’m trying to find
I ain’t disposable never was
I survive first the rest comes after
[Outro]
Still here
Still standing
Still breathing
