I aint stopping

🎵 “Still Standing Anyway”

Verse 1
5:30 in the morning, headlights cut the rain
Coffee in a paper cup, running through the pain
House full of people, still I feel alone
Built it all from nothing, but it never felt like home

Dogs in the backseat, they don’t ever lie
They just love me where I’m at, don’t ask me why I cry
Shower in the silence, just to feel like me
But even that gets taken like I don’t deserve to breathe

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I gave my years, my body, my soul
Carried everybody, now I’m losing control
They take and they take, don’t ask what I need
But something inside me still won’t let me leave

⸻

Chorus
I’m still standing anyway
Through the hurt and through the weight
Every scar, every break
Didn’t take me to my grave

I been bent, I ain’t broke
Held my breath through the smoke
Yeah, I’m tired, yeah I’m worn
But I’m stronger than before

I’m still standing… anyway

⸻

Verse 2
Thirty years of silence, learning how to stay
Now I’m learning boundaries don’t just fade away
They cross every line like it’s theirs to take
But I’m drawing new ones with every step I make

Daughter in the struggle, trying just to cope
I can see her hurting, trying to give her hope
Working through the pain, braces on my frame
Still I show up every day and carry all the weight

⸻

Pre-Chorus
They never saw the nights I cried alone
Or how I built a life from broken bones
But I see it now, I’m waking up
And I don’t need permission just to be enough

⸻

Chorus
I’m still standing anyway
Through the hurt and through the weight
Every scar, every break
Didn’t take me to my grave

I been bent, I ain’t broke
Held my breath through the smoke
Yeah, I’m tired, yeah I’m worn
But I’m stronger than before

I’m still standing… anyway

⸻

Bridge (soft → powerful)
One day I’ll have a place of my own
No more walking on edges, no more feeling alone
No more shrinking myself just to keep the peace
No more trading my comfort just to feel some release

They can doubt me now, they can say what they say
But I’m building my freedom a little each day

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger)
I’m still standing anyway
Through the storm, I found my way
Every loss, every flame
Only taught me how to change

I been low, I been high
But I never said goodbye
Yeah I’m tired, yeah I’m worn
But I’m walking out reborn

I’m still standing… anyway
