[Verse 1]
I learned to read your face
Before I knew my name
The house held all that weight
And I wore it like a chain
Little me, eyes wide open
Counting cracks in the floor
I made a map of leaving
Kept one hand on the door
[Pre-Chorus]
But I grew up in the fire
Still I kept a spark
Every hard thing tried to break me
Only lit a mark
[Chorus]
I’m still here
I’m still here
Through the bruises, through the years
I’m still here
I’m still here
Holding on with both my hands
[Verse 2]
Some nights come back like thunder
Running under my skin
I hear the old fear calling
Trying to pull me in
But I know my own reflection
I can face it now
The pain don’t get the final say
I’ve learned to stand my ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar is a witness
Every tear fell true
What they left inside my bones
I turned into proof
[Chorus]
I’m still here
I’m still here
Through the bruises, through the years
I’m still here
I’m still here
Holding on with both my hands
[Bridge]
If you see me shake
It means I’ve not let go
If you hear me break
I’m still soft enough to know
What was done to me
Was never all I was
I kept the little light
And it grew because
[Chorus]
I’m still here
I’m still here
Through the bruises, through the years
I’m still here
I’m still here
Holding on with both my hands
