[Verse 1] Life has tested me hard Still I stand in the storm Been through more than I say Still I make it to dawn I keep my circle small Good hearts, nothing less If you love me, stay close If you poison me, get gone [Pre-Chorus] I learned where to draw lines I learned when to let go I don't need heavy hands I don't need that old smoke I’ve got scars that talk back When the room goes still But I wake up again Even if I’m bent, I will [Chorus] I’m still trying I’m still trying Broken, but I’m standing I’m still trying I breathe it in I move again I’m still trying I’m still trying [Verse 2] Some days I feel worn thin Carrying hurt in my chest Memories cut real deep When I’m alone with the rest I don’t have all the answers I still fall apart sometimes Missing what used to be mine Like a name I can’t unwrite [Pre-Chorus] But I know how to rise now One slow step at a time I cut loose the dead weight I don’t feed what tries to bite If the road gets steep and dark I keep my face to the sun Even with shaking hands I’m not finished, I’m not done [Chorus] I’m still trying I’m still trying Broken, but I’m standing I’m still trying I breathe it in I move again I’m still trying I’m still trying [Bridge] Let the ache come through me Let it pass, let it pass I’ve been split by the hard years Still I outlast the crash Every bruise on my body Every prayer I knew Taught me how to keep going Taught me how to choose [Final Chorus] I’m still trying I’m still trying Broken, but I’m standing I’m still trying I breathe it in I move again I’m still trying I’m still trying Yeah, I’m still trying I’m still trying
