Still Standing Strong

You’re lucky I’m still standing

You kept stacking weight on my back

But I learned how to breathe in it

I kept my hands off the matches

Still you tried to blame me for smoke

I don’t need another promise

I need the truth to land

Say it straight, no circles

Look at me— I’m still here (oh)

You’re lucky I’m still standing

After all you tried to hand me

I bent, I didn’t break

I stayed, I didn’t chase You’re lucky I’m still standing (yeah)

(still standing)

(still standing)

I stopped begging for your mercy

Started moving like my life is mine

If you needed me smaller

Why’d you pick me for the climb?

I won’t be your lesson

I won’t be your proof

I’m not carrying your weather

I’m walking into new (ahhhh)

You’re lucky I’m still standing

After all you tried to hand me

I bent, I didn’t break

I stayed, I didn’t chase

You’re lucky I’m still standing (still standing)

You’re lucky I’m still standing
