Lyrics

I didn’t come out clean
I didn’t come out whole
I carried everything
I didn’t know how to let go

Some nights still echo
With things I never said
But I wake up breathing
So I’m not done yet

I buried parts of who I was
But not the part that lived

I’m still here
After all of it
Still standing
In the aftermath
I don’t need to win
I don’t need to forget
I’m still here
And that’s enough

I walked through fire
I lived in doubt
I learned some things
Don’t burn you out

The weight still lingers
But it doesn’t own me
I don’t need the dark
To know I’m lonely

I don’t need the scars to fade
To move ahead

I’m still here
After all of this
Still breathing
With my hands unclenched
I don’t need a reason
I don’t need regret
I’m still here
And that’s enough

Maybe healing isn’t fixing
Maybe it’s staying
Maybe light doesn’t blind you
Maybe it waits

I don’t need a perfect ending
I just need to know
I can step into tomorrow
Without carrying it alone

I’m still here
And I feel it now
Still standing
On solid ground
I don’t need the past
To tell me who I am
I’m still here
I understand

I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
