[Intro] (Ah‑ah) I was down… but I ain’t out [Verse 1] Fell in pieces, thought I lost the plot Took the fall, but I learned the cost a lot You said goodbye, left me cold in the dark Now I’m realigning pain into art Saw my demons in the mirror’s crack Learned to fight for me when there’s no coming back Now I’m back, but with different scars Still standing tall with a broken heart [Pre-Chorus] You thought I’d fade, thought I’d bleed But I turned pain into what I need [Chorus] Still standing when the world broke me Still lighting when the dark tried to hold me Still smiling in a skin too cracked Still rising from the ashes of the past Yeah, still standing—you won’t fold me Still breathing, you can’t control me Still my voice in the empty night Still alive, and I’ll be alright [Verse 2] Used to chase shadows of memories Now I chase days that I design, free Used to hang regrets in my mind like art Now I paint tomorrows with a brand new start All these voices said I wouldn’t bounce All their doubts just made my faith count Now I’m flying past every prophecy Left doubt in my smoke, now I’m breathing peace [Pre-Chorus] You thought I’d fade, thought I’d bleed Now I glow, now I’m relief [Chorus] Still standing when the world broke me Still lighting when the dark tried to hold me Still smiling in a skin too cracked Still rising from the ashes of the past Yeah, still standing—you won’t fold me Still breathing, you can’t control me Still my voice in the empty night Still alive, and I’ll be alright [Bridge] No more hiding in the shadows I built wings out of broken shadows If this life ain’t what you wanted me to be Glad you didn’t—made me who I’m meant to be [Final Chorus – full energy] Still standing when the world broke me Still lighting when the dark tried to hold me Still smiling in a skin too cracked Still rising from the ashes of the past Still standing—this is my story Still breathing—living in my glory Still my voice in the empty night Still alive, still me, still alright [Outro – echo on “still alive” fade-out] Still alive… yeah, still alive Still standing… still standing
