Verse 1

Verse 1 Every smile got a story that I never let 'em read, Every step I take is heavy from the weight I couldn't leave. People only see the wins, never nights I couldn't sleep, Fighting all my battles while the world said, "Just be me." Rain falling on the windshield, can't see through the storm, Trying to stay warm when my heart feels worn. Built these walls so high they could touch the sky, But pain always finds a way to slip inside. Chorus I'm still standing, even when my soul feels weak, Every scar's another lesson that the world can't teach. I've been broken, I've been lost, I've been down so low, But the fire in my chest won't let me let it go. Pain made me stronger, even when it left its mark, Now I'm learning how to shine through the darkest dark. Verse 2 Every goodbye echoes louder in an empty room, Every dream feels distant when you're staring at the moon. People say, "Keep your head up," like it's easy to do, When you're carrying a past that keeps chasing you. I don't want your pity, I just want some peace, Trying to silence all the memories that never seem to leave. If tomorrow's got a chance, then I'm running toward the light, 'Cause I refuse to let the darkness own my life. Bridge Maybe these scars were never meant to disappear, Maybe they remind me that I made it through the fear. Every tear I cried became another reason why I'll keep walking forward with my head held high. Final Chorus I'm still standing, hear my heartbeat through the pain, Every storm I've lived through couldn't wash me away. I'm not perfect, but I'm stronger than I used to be, The pain wrote the pages—now the ending's up to me. So if tomorrow calls my name, I'll answer without fear, 'Cause even in the darkness... I survived to make it here.
