Verse 1 You keep throwing stones from the safety of the shore Like you know every part of me you’ve never seen before You turn my worst moments into reasons I won’t change Like the damage that I carry is the only thing I became I know you want a reaction I know you want me to break But I’ve been fighting storms you never had to face ⸻ Pre-Chorus I could spend my whole life trying to prove you wrong Or I could take the weight and turn it into something strong Every word you threw at me every reason I should fall Just became another reason I’m still standing through it all ⸻ Chorus I’ve got salt in my lungs but I’m still breathing You tried to pull me under but I’m still reaching Say whatever you want I know what I’ve been through Every word you threw at me just gave me something to prove If the ocean wants to break me let it try I’ve survived everything that was supposed to take my life ⸻ Verse 2 You thought I’d disappear when you painted me that way Thought I’d carry every word and let it sink into my veins But I learned from the pressure I learned from the pain The person you tried to bury started finding his name I’m not asking for forgiveness I’m not asking you to see I’m just becoming someone you never thought I’d be ⸻ Pre-Chorus I could spend my whole life trying to change your mind But I’m done chasing people who only see my worst sides Every wave that tried to break me every current I survived Just became another reason I’m still alive ⸻ Chorus I’ve got salt in my lungs but I’m still breathing You tried to pull me under but I’m still reaching Say whatever you want I know what I’ve been through Every word you threw at me just gave me something to prove If the ocean wants to break me let it try I’ve survived everything that was supposed to take my life ⸻ Breakdown Maybe you wanted me smaller Maybe you wanted me gone But you forgot one thing… I learned how to swim when I had nothing to hold on ⸻ Final Chorus I’ve got salt in my lungs but I’m still breathing I’ve been through the worst and I’m still standing Say whatever you want I don’t need you to see The person I became was never up to you or me If the ocean wants to break me let it try I’ve survived everything that was supposed to take my life
