Lyrics
A powerful closing anthem of survival and growth honoring every scar and silent battle with unshaken resolve
Ive walked through nights with no end in sight Carrying ghosts drowning in fights Thought Id fade thought Id break But here I am Im still awake
I lost my way I paid the cost A past that haunts a love thats lost But every scar every tear Led me right to standing here
They tried to break me watched me fall But I kept rising I took it all Every wound every lie Only taught me how to fight
αααα»ααα ααααΉαααΆααααααΆαα’αααΈααΎαα‘αΎαααααα Iβm still standing but my heart is strong
Im still standing after the storm Still breathing even when torn Through the fire through the rain I found myself inside the pain Im still standing scars wont fade But they remind me of the price I paid Through the ashes through the fall Im still standing I took it all
I gave my trust I played the game Believed in friends who had no shame They stole my faith they took my gold Left me empty young and cold
But I walked on I learned to see That love is earned and trust aint free I built my life with broken hands And now I rise I make my stand
They tried to break me watched me fall But I kept rising I took it all Every wound every lie Only taught me how to fight
αααα»ααα ααααΉαααΆααααααΆαα’αααΈααΎαα‘αΎαααααα Iβm still standing but my heart is strong
Im still standing after the storm Still breathing even when torn Through the fire through the rain I found myself inside the pain Im still standing scars wont fade But they remind me of the price I paid Through the ashes through the fall Im still standing I took it all
If I could turn if I could speak Id tell that boy who felt so weak Dont lose your hope dont drown in fear Someday youβll stand right here
αααααΎαα’αααααααΆαα ααααΎααα ααααααΌ We were tired but we survived
The past still lingers but I walk on Through every loss I still belong Im still standing Ive come so far No more shadows I own my scars
