Verse 1 I’ve seen promises turn into dust, Heard too many truths dressed up as trust. People talk like they’ve figured it out, But they’re just trading fear for doubt. I’ve walked roads I didn’t choose, Wore the weight of borrowed views. Every wrong turn taught me this: Some answers live inside the risk. Pre-Chorus I don’t need a map to understand, Some things you just feel, not plan. Chorus I know where I stand when the lights go down, When the crowd disappears, when there’s no one around. I know what stays, I know what bends, I know the difference between love and pretend. I know where I stand — and I won’t move. Verse 2 I’ve watched silence speak louder than words, Seen faith collapse when it’s overheard. There’s a line between hope and delay, Between what we keep and what slips away. I don’t need perfection to believe, Just something real I can’t deceive. If everything breaks, I still defend The truth I chose, again and again. Pre-Chorus I don’t chase what I can’t command, Some things you just hold in your hands. Chorus I know where I stand when the lights go down, When the crowd disappears, when there’s no one around. I know what stays, I know what bends, I know the difference between love and pretend. I know where I stand — and I won’t move. Bridge Let the world spin faster if it needs to run, I won’t trade my soul to keep up with anyone. If certainty is all I defend, Then doubt can wait at the end. Final Chorus I know where I stand, I know what is mine, I won’t sell my heart to pass the time. I know what stays until the end, I know the cost of breaking, I know when to mend. I know where I stand — and that’s enough.
