Tired But Standing

V6-MINI

[INTRO — SOFT ACOUSTIC GUITAR, LOW RAW FEMALE VOCALS] Yeah, I'm tired... God knows I'm tired. But there's a difference between being broken And being done. Baby, I'm not done. [VERSE 1] I cried those tears, let the whole world spin, Sat with the hurt, now I'm rising again. I've walked through hell with a smile through the pain, Got soaked in the storm, still danced in the rain. I might need a minute, might need time to heal, But I'm done pretending I don't know what I feel. You mistook my silence for giving in, But sometimes you lose yourself to find yourself again. [CHORUS — HEAVY BASS, FULL DRUMS, GRITTY VOCALS] YEAH, I'M FUCKING TIRED, BUT I'M STILL STANDING! Heart full of scars, but I'm done abandoning The girl in the mirror who fought through the pain, Who got knocked down but got up again. I'm exhausted, not defeated, got fire in my eyes, You can keep your bullshit, your blame, and your lies. Tired ain't broken, and pain ain't the end, I can fall seven times, get back up again! [VERSE 2 — PERCUSSIVE GUITAR, DEEP BASS] I'm done saying sorry for the space I take, Done breaking myself for somebody else's sake. I own my mistakes, every wrong turn I made, But I won't carry guilt for the games that you played. I can love you and still walk away, Miss what we had and not beg you to stay. You can tell your version, let the rumors fly, I'm too busy rebuilding my own damn life. [BRIDGE — ONE GUITAR, RAW EMOTIONAL VOCALS] To the girl in the mirror who thought she was done, Who kept on fighting when she wanted to run, You don't have to prove you deserve to survive, There's a whole damn world on the other side. Take your time, let your heart heal slow, You don't need the answers to know you can grow. [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE BASS, DRUMS, VIOLIN, POWERFUL BELTING] YEAH, I'M FUCKING TIRED, BUT I'M STILL STANDING! Feet on the ground, got my future in my hands! I've been through the fire, got burned by the flame, Walked out different, and I won't be the same. I might bend, might break, might need time to mend, But you haven't seen the last of me, not even the end! I'm done with surviving, now I'm learning to live, I've still got a whole lot of fight left to give! [OUTRO — SOFT ACOUSTIC GUITAR, ALMOST WHISPERED] I'm still tired... But I'm not giving up on me. I'm not carrying what's never been mine. I don't have to be fearless, I don't have to be fine. I might be tired... But this life is still mine. And this time... I'm standing for me.
