Still Breathing

Sometimes I smile

So nobody asks what’s wrong.

Sometimes I’m surrounded

And still feel alone.

But somewhere inside me

There’s a voice I can’t ignore… And it keeps saying:

“Keep going.”

I know what it feels like

To wake up tired,

To look at your dreams And feel uninspired.

To give everything you have

And still wonder why

The things you believed in

Passed you by.

I’ve had moments I don’t talk about,

Days when I wanted

To shut everything out.

I carried my heart

Like a secret inside,

Pretending I’m strong While I’m breaking inside.

But every tear

That I couldn’t explain,

Every goodbye That left me in pain,

Every door closing Right in my face

Was somehow pushing me

To a better place.

And maybe I’m not broken,

Maybe I’m just healing.

Maybe all this pain Is teaching me to feel it.

I don’t wanna run anymore.

I don’t wanna hide anymore.

I STILL FEEL,

I STILL FEEL,

EVEN AFTER ALL THE PAIN.

I STILL LOVE, I STILL DREAM,

I STILL DANCE INSIDE THE RAIN.

I’M STILL HERE,

I’M STILL BREATHING,

STILL BELIEVING IN SOMETHING.

THE WORLD CAN BREAK MY HEART,

BUT IT CAN’T TAKE MY SOUL.

(I still

feel...) (I still feel...)

There were people that I loved That I couldn’t make stay,

People I would have followed Anywhere,

any day.

I gave pieces of myself

Just to keep them around,

Until I realized I was losing myself in the crowd.

So I learned how to let go,

Even when it hurt,

Learned that loving somebody Doesn’t mean you come first.

If you can hear me…

Wherever you are… I hope you know

That you were never a mistake.

And if you’re hurting… Don’t be ashamed.

Some hearts break Because they were brave enough

To love.

I cried…

I fell… I lost myself… But

I came back.

I came back stronger.

I STILL FEEL! I feel the bass,

I feel the beat,

I feel my heartbeat Underneath.

I feel the tears,

I feel the fire,

I feel the woman I became through the desire.

I’M STILL HERE!

(I still feel...) (I still feel...)
