[Verse 1] I gave my heart to the night, it came back colder Had to learn how to fight with the weight on my shoulders Everybody love the shine, wasn’t there for the climb Had me questioning God like, “Is it ever my time?” I was feeding my habits, starving my spirit Cry for help in my songs, wonder if they could hear it Told myself I was good, I was barely surviving Had a smile for the world, behind it I was dying I done lost real love chasing temporary feelings Tried to bury that guilt, but it slept in the ceiling Every night staring down like, “You know what you did” Can’t keep blaming the man that I was as a kid I’ve been breaking these cycles, blood on the chain Had to sit with the silence, had to study my pain Now the same heavy rain that was flooding my soul Hit the fire in my chest, but I still don’t fold [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been down, I’ve been low Had nowhere left to go When the whole world went cold I still didn’t sell my soul [Chorus] I still don’t fold, I still don’t break Still got faith when my hands start to shake Heart full of scars, but it still beat strong Had to lose who I was just to see who I’ve become I still don’t fold, even under that weight Had to crawl through the dark, had to fight for my place They can count me out, they can say I’m too far gone But the pressure hit hard—and I still held on [Post-Chorus] Still held on, still held on Whole world went dark, but I still held on Still held on, still held on Had to lose who I was just to see who I’ve become [Verse 2] I got people that I hurt who may never forgive me Got some nights in my past that’ll always live with me I can’t rewrite the page, I can’t take back the tears But I can walk like a man for the rest of my years I was running from love, I was scared it would leave So I ruined every good thing before it could breathe Now somebody see the man underneath all the damage And it scares me to death ’cause I don’t wanna vanish Old ways at the door, I can hear ’em still knocking Lonely nights tell a lie, make the poison look promising But I know where it ends, I done paid that toll A few minutes of pleasure ain’t worth my soul So I’m holding what’s real, I’m protecting my peace If temptation want war, it can come see me I’m not claiming perfection, I’m just choosing control Every day I wake up and I still don’t fold [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been down, I’ve been low Had nowhere left to go When the whole world went cold I still didn’t sell my soul [Chorus] I still don’t fold, I still don’t break Still got faith when my hands start to shake Heart full of scars, but it still beat strong Had to lose who I was just to see who I’ve become I still don’t fold, even under that weight Had to crawl through the dark, had to fight for my place They can count me out, they can say I’m too far gone But the pressure hit hard—and I still held on [Bridge – Soulful Vocals] If I fall, let me fall moving forward If I cry, let the tears make me stronger I’m done making a home out of chaos I’ve been lost long enough, come and save us I know grace doesn’t mean I’m not guilty It just means my worst days couldn’t kill me Every scar got a story it told I walked straight through the fire—and I still don’t fold [Final Chorus] I still don’t fold, I still don’t break Still call His name when my hands start to shake Heart full of scars, but it still beat strong Had to lose who I was just to see who I’ve become I still don’t fold, even under that weight Had to crawl through the dark, had to fight for my place They can count me out, they can say I’m too far gone But the pressure hit hard—and I still held on [Outro] Still held on When the love disappeared, I still held on When the mirror showed somebody I ain’t wanna know I faced that man—and I still didn’t fold
