Yeah... Look at us now. Still standing. I wore my best mistakes like diamonds on my sleeve, talked like I knew the game when I could barely breathe. You said, “Don’t play it safe, you only get one shot.” So I walked straight through the smoke with everything I got. And every door they closed just made me want it more. No, I ain’t done, I ain’t done— not anymore. I’m still burning bright, even after all this time. Got a little scar, got a little soul, got a fire they couldn’t buy. Still burning bright, yeah, I made it through the night. You can take the crown, take the champagne down— I’m still here, still burning bright. Bright... still burning bright. I shook a thousand hands that never knew my name, watched pretty promises go disappearing down the drain. Now I don’t chase applause, I know what matters most. The ones who laughed back then are raising glasses to my ghost. Every mile I lost put something in my bones. I ain’t done, I ain’t done— I’m coming home. I’m still burning bright, even after all this time. Got a little scar, got a little soul, got a fire they couldn’t buy. Still burning bright, yeah, I made it through the night. You can take the crown, take the champagne down— I’m still here, still burning bright. Maybe I was foolish, maybe that’s the price. But I’d rather lose with thunder than live my whole damn life asking twice. I’m still burning bright, baby, brighter than before. Every broken road, every heavy load only made me want it more. Still burning bright, ain’t no shadow killing mine. Let the whole world turn— I’ll be right here, still burning... still burning bright. Yeah... Still bright.
