There were nights I barely slept Days I forgot to breathe Learning how to stand again On shaking knees I held on longer than I should Hoped more than I could take But walking away taught me more Than staying ever gave And every step I take away from you Feels like I’m walking closer to the truth I’m still standing After all the times I broke Still standing Learning how to hope I didn’t lose love I just found my way Out of the dark Into brighter days I made peace with the silence Where your voice used to be Now I’m learning to listen To the part of me that believes I don’t need all the answers Just the strength to move on Some goodbyes are just doorways To the life I’ve been waiting on I’m still standing Stronger than before Still standing Not afraid of love anymore I don’t need saving I learned to stay For myself In every way
