Still Breathing

Still Breathing [Intro — soft guitar, then drums kick in slowly] [Verse 1] I woke up to the sound of morning rain, Light on the wall like a second chance. Every scar I carry has a name, Every heartbeat’s a borrowed dance. I’ve been broken in a thousand ways, Lost more than I can explain, But I’m still here when the night pulls back, Still standing in the rain. [Pre-Chorus] Some days feel heavier than truth, Some nights don’t let you sleep, But there’s a fire you don’t choose That burns just deep enough to keep. [Chorus] I’m still breathing, still alive, Still reaching for the open sky. Every tear that tried to drown me Taught my lungs how hard to fight. I’ve bent, I’ve fallen, I’ve survived, Through every doubt and broken dream, I don’t know why, but I’m still breathing. [Verse 2] I’ve seen love leave without a sound, Watched forever turn to dust. Built my hopes on shaky ground, Learned the cost of broken trust. But somewhere in the quiet ache, A small voice learned my name, Said, “You’re more than what you lost, You’re more than all this pain.” [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need all the answers now, Just one reason to believe, That the cracks in who I am Are where the light still reaches me. [Chorus] I’m still breathing, still alive, Still reaching for the open sky. Every tear that tried to drown me Taught my lungs how hard to fight. I’ve bent, I’ve fallen, I’ve survived, Through every doubt and broken dream, I don’t know why, but I’m still breathing. [Guitar Solo — emotional, rising, powerful] [Verse 3] They tell you that it gets easier, But some days the mountain’s just too steep. You put one foot in front of the other, When all you want to do is sleep. It’s not about never feeling broken, It’s not about never feeling small, It’s about waking up tomorrow And standing tall when you could have fallen. [Bridge] If life is just a fragile flame Shaking in the dark, Then let me burn through wind and rain And leave a little spark. For every soul that feels alone, For every silent scream, If nothing else, let this be true— We’re stronger than we seem. [Final Chorus (lift — full band, loud & soaring] I’m still breathing, still alive, Still holding on through sleepless nights. Every goodbye that almost broke me Still couldn’t steal my fight. I’m here, I’m scarred, I’ve survived, And that alone means something to me, I don’t know how… But I’m still breathing. [Outro — building then fading slowly] Maybe that’s the miracle— I stayed. I fought. I’m not done yet. Every sunrise, every breath, Proof that I made it through the death Of the person I used to be… Something stronger rose in me. Still breathing… Still alive… Yeah, I’m still here.
