What Stays (Remix)

[Intro – instrumental] Hook And I’m asking what stays when the moment fades, When the world keeps shifting and the center breaks. Caught in hope and fear, I’m still finding my way, But I’ll keep on walking, whatever they say. And I carry the weight that this life hands me, Learned you still can grow even when you bleed. ’Cause in the end it’s not how perfect you are — It’s if you’re still standing when things fall apart. Verse 1 There were days I felt like I’d lost control, Lost inside my thoughts and this heavy role. Saying “I’m okay,” though I’m not really sure Where I’m heading now or what I’m fighting for. Seen too many things to stay innocent, Lived through too much pain to stay confident. Time has shaped me more than I understand — Every single mistake made me who I am. People come and go like the midnight wind, Some just pass you by, some will lift you in. But in the end it’s you who chooses the road — Move ahead or let doubt pull you down below. Hook And I’m asking what stays when the moment fades, When the world keeps shifting and the center breaks. Caught in hope and fear, I’m still finding my way, But I’ll keep on walking, whatever they say. And I carry the weight that this life hands me, Learned you still can grow even when you bleed. ’Cause in the end it’s not how perfect you are — It’s if you’re still standing when things fall apart. Verse 2 Sometimes I feel empty in a crowded place, Everyone is talking but I hear my space — Just that quiet voice saying “you must be strong,” Though I know I can’t do this alone for long. Strength is not about never hitting the ground — It’s the rise again after the hardest sound. Now I wear my doubts like a badge on my chest, ’Cause they show that I’m human, not flawless at best. Every day’s a chance even when it’s rough, Even when you feel like you’re not enough. That’s the moment when you’ve got to push through — Even when the path hides itself from you. Bridge Maybe life is built as a test of heart — Will you keep on going when you fall apart. Maybe meaning’s something you learn on the way, But I’ll keep on moving, come whatever may. Hook – Outro And I’m asking what stays when the moment fades, When the world keeps shifting and the center breaks. Caught in hope and fear, I’m still finding my way, But I’ll keep on walking, whatever they say. And I carry the weight that this life hands me, Learned you still can grow even when you bleed. ’Cause in the end it’s not how perfect you are — It’s if you’re still standing when things fall apart.
