Still Breathing

I’ve been living in the shadows of the things I couldn’t say Carrying the silence like a cross I drag each day Every scar’s a memory that tried to pull me under But I learned the sound of healing In the middle of the thunder I was breaking, I was empty I was scared to feel alive But there’s fire in these ashes And a truth I can’t deny I’m still breathing through the hurt Still standing in the rain I’ve been torn apart by love And stitched back up by pain If this world keeps pushing me I’ll push back all the same I’m still breathing Yeah, I’m still breathing I’ve made peace with all the darkness I once called my home Turned the fear into a voice Now I’m never alone Every step is unforgiven Every tear is real But I won’t trade this broken heart For a heart that doesn’t feel If I fall, I’ll fall forward If I bleed, I’ll bleed true I survived the worst of me Now I’m coming through I’m still breathing through the hurt Still standing in the rain I’ve been torn apart by love And stitched back up by pain If this world keeps pushing me I’ll push back all the same I’m still breathing Yeah, I’m still breathing Maybe I’m not perfect Maybe I’m not whole But I’d rather be honest Than a lie you’re told So let the past keep talking I don’t listen anymore I’m not asking for forgiveness I’m just walking out the door I’m still breathing… And that means I’ve already won
