Lyrics

Still Breathing

Verse 1
I was good at burning bridges
Calling it self defense
I wore my worst decisions
Like they never made a dent
Every promise temporary
Every night felt like a test
I kept running from tomorrow
With my back against my best

Pre-Chorus
I said I had it figured out
But I was scared of slowing down

Chorus
But I’m still here, still breathing somehow
Still picking myself up off the ground
I don’t need to win, I just won’t lose
I learned how to live with the truth
I’m still here - yeah, I made it through

Verse 2
I chased relief in bad ideas
Called it getting by
Tried to drown out all the damage
But it only learned to fly
Every mirror told the story
I refused to read out loud
I didn’t fix it overnight
I just stopped backing down

Pre-Chorus
I couldn’t save who I had been
But I can show up now and then

Chorus
Yeah I’m still here, still breathing somehow
Still learning what it means to stay around
I don’t need a cure, I just need proof
That I can live with what I choose
I’m still here - yeah, I made it through

Let’s Go!!!

No miracles
Just days like this
One good choice
Then another hit

I don’t wake up clean and fearless
I wake up and I try
That’s the difference now

Final Chorus
Yeah I’m still here, still breathing somehow
Still standing when I should’ve gone down
I don’t need to win, I just won’t lose
I’m not who I was, I’m who I choose
I’m still here, and that’s the truth

I’m still here
