[INTRO] (Mmm...) (Yeah...) (Ooooh...) (Still breathing...) (I'm still here...) [VERSE 1] Raised hands... (Lowered eyes...) Learning to read (The silence inside.) Walking on eggshells, (Holding my breath...) Wondering if today Would be easier than the rest. (Easier than the rest...) I wore my smile like armour... (Armour...) Covered every bruise (No one ever knew.) Built my world (Out of fear and lies...) Forgot what it felt like To simply be alive. (Alive...) [PRE-CHORUS] You tried... (You tried...) To make me disappear. (Disappear...) You tried... (You tried...) To make me live in fear. (In fear...) But somewhere underneath... (My heart still beat.) (Ooooh...) [CHORUS] I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) You couldn't take my fire. (Take my fire...) You bent my branches, (Bent my branches...) Never touched my roots. (My roots...) I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) Stronger than your silence. (Stronger...) Every scar reminds me I made it through. (Made it through...) You don't own my name. (My name...) You don't own my soul. (My soul...) You broke my heart... (You broke...) But never my hope. (My hope...) I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) Still rising... (Still rising...) Still alive... (Still alive...) [POST CHORUS] (Survivor...) (Ooooh...) (Still here...) (I'm still here...) (Still here...) (Ooooh...) [VERSE 2] The echoes still call (Some nights...) Some nights when I'm alone. (Alone...) But they don't decide (The woman I've become.) I'm learning that love (That love...) Should never feel like fear. (Like fear...) I'm learning my voice Was always meant to be heard. (To be heard...) Every broken piece (Broken piece...) Found somewhere to belong. (To belong...) Every tear I cried Turned into this song. (This song...) The weight on my shoulders (Shoulders...) Didn't disappear... (No...) I just grew stronger (Stronger...) Through every year. (Every year...) [PRE-CHORUS] You wrote... (You wrote...) A chapter full of pain. (Full of pain...) But you never got (To write the ending.) I'm holding the pen... (The pen...) Now. (Now...) [CHORUS] I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) You couldn't take my fire. (Take my fire...) You bent my branches, (Bent my branches...) Never touched my roots. (My roots...) I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) Stronger than your silence. (Stronger...) Every scar reminds me I made it through. (Made it through...) You don't own my name. (My name...) You don't own my soul. (My soul...) You broke my heart... (You broke...) But never my hope. (My hope...) [BRIDGE] You can keep the lies. (Keep the lies...) You can keep the blame. (Keep the blame...) I'm leaving all your shadows Standing in the rain. (In the rain...) I won't carry (Carry...) What was never mine. (Never mine...) Your darkness ends... (Ends...) Where my light begins. (My light begins...) [FINAL CHORUS] I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) Look at me now. (Look at me now...) Every broken piece Built me somehow. (Built me somehow...) I'm a survivor... (Survivor...) No longer hiding. (No longer...) No longer running. (No more...) No longer afraid. (No more...) I found my voice. (My voice...) I found my strength. (My strength...) I found the girl Who never truly left. (Never left...) I'm a survivor... (Mmm...) I'm a survivor... (Ooooh...) Still standing... (Still standing...) Still healing... (Still healing...) Still becoming... (Me...) [OUTRO] (Mmmm...) (Ooooh...) (Still breathing...) (Still here...) (I'm a survivor...) (Survivor...) (I'm home...) (Home...)
