STILL I MOVE [Intro — low, spoken] Some doors close without a sound. Some names fade without goodbye. I stopped asking who would stay when I learned I could walk alone. [Verse 1] Midnight dripping from the fire escape, Streetlights flicker like a heart awake. Shoes hit the pavement — one, two, three, Every broken step comes back to me. I had gold promises turn into smoke, Watched good intentions disappear like ghosts. Had my name in mouths that wished me well, Then heard the silence when I fell. Rain on my jacket, bass in my chest, Life kept swinging, I learned to step. Black sky hanging like a loaded gun, But I kept moving toward the sun. I don’t wear every scar on my sleeve, Some wounds breathe where nobody sees. But every night that tried to swallow me Left a little more fire underneath. [Pre-Chorus] When the room goes quiet, When the lights burn low, There’s a rhythm in my blood saying: Go… go… go… [Chorus] I still move — Through the thunder, through the blue. Heart goes boom-boom, breaking through. Dust on my boots, fire in my lungs, I lost some battles — I ain’t done. I still move — When the whole damn sky falls through. One more scar, one more truth. If I hit the ground tonight, Watch me rise with morning light. Oh-oh… I bend, I bruise, But I still move. [Verse 2] I watched forever turn into “maybe,” Watched “I love you” learn to hate me. Watched old friends become silhouettes, Little black shadows of old regrets. So I quit knocking on closing doors, Quit bleeding for people who wanted more. No more running with an empty cup, No more begging to be enough. Now my pulse keeps time with the passing train, Steel-wheel rhythm running through my veins. Click-clack, click-clack — leave it behind, Every mile puts peace in my mind. I’ve got dreams like matches in my pocket, One small spark and nobody can stop it. Life said, “Girl, you ain’t ready yet.” I smiled: “Watch me.” Then took another step. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve cried where nobody Could hear a sound. I’ve danced with my demons Till they wore themselves out. Now there’s a drum in my chest, And it won’t slow down: Boom. Boom. Boom. I’m still around. [Chorus] I still move — Through the thunder, through the blue. Heart goes boom-boom, breaking through. Dust on my boots, fire in my lungs, I lost some battles — I ain’t done. I still move — When the whole damn sky falls through. One more scar, one more truth. If I hit the ground tonight, Watch me rise with morning light. Oh-oh… I bend, I bruise, But I still move. [Post-Chorus] Step — step — Heartbeat on the concrete. Step — step — Feel the whole world underneath. No looking back, No begging you to choose. I got nothing left to prove. I still move. [Bridge — stripped down / whispered] Let them leave. Let the door slam. Let the photographs collect dust. Let the old me sleep. I don’t need every hand that held me to follow where I’m going. Some roads are supposed to be lonely. And maybe being alone isn’t the same as being lost. [Build] So turn the lights down. Let the kick drum hit. Let every scar remember this: I was there. I survived. And I’m still— [Break] Alive. Boom. Alive. Boom. Alive. BOOM. [Final Chorus — explosive] I STILL MOVE! Through the thunder, through the blue! Heart goes boom-boom, breaking through! Blood runs hot, eyes on the sun, You thought I’d disappear— I’M NOT DONE! I still move! Let the whole damn sky fall through! I’ve got nothing left to lose! Every time the darkness calls my name, I come walking through the flames! Oh-oh! I fell! I burned! I broke! I learned! And every road I thought I’d lose… Led me back to something true. ME. I still move! I still move! I still move! [Outro — quiet, footsteps] One step. Another. That’s all survival ever was. Not never falling… Just refusing to make the ground your home. Step. Step. Step. I still move.
