MUSIC FOR SALE

Verse 1
I been waking up with ghosts in my head
Same four walls, same cold side of bed
Used to pray just to make it through
Now I’m learning how to want it too
Mirror shows someone I don’t know
Cracked smile but I let it show
Every scar got a story I hate
But I’m still here, so it’s not too late
Pre-Chorus
I was down to nothing, almost let go
But there’s a fire underneath it all
Chorus
Yeah, I’m still standing anyway
Even when my knees won’t stay
Every piece I had to break
Led me to a better place
I’m not fixed, but I’m not the same
Got a little stronger through the pain
If I fall, I’ll rise again
Yeah, I’m still standing anyway
Verse 2
I stopped chasing what I used to be
That girl’s gone, but she made me me
Now I’m breathing without the weight
Learning how to sit with the ache
Little wins feel like saving grace
Got sunlight on my face
I don’t need to have it all
Just enough to not feel small
Pre-Chorus
I was lost in the dark for so long
Now I hear a different kind of song
Chorus
Yeah, I’m still standing anyway
Even when my knees won’t stay
Every piece I had to break
Led me to a better place
I’m not fixed, but I’m not the same
Got a little stronger through the pain
If I fall, I’ll rise again
Yeah, I’m still standing anyway
Bridge (raspy, raw, almost whispered → builds)
Some nights I still feel it creeping in
Like I might fall back where I’ve been
But I talk myself down, I breathe it out
Yeah, I know what I’m about now
I don’t need to be unbroken
Just need proof I kept going
Final Chorus (bigger, defiant)
Yeah, I’m still standing anyway
Through the cracks and all the weight
Every tear I couldn’t save
Turned into the strength I made
I’m not perfect, I’m just brave
And that’s enough for me these days
If I fall, I’ll rise again
Yeah, I’m still standing anyway
Outro (soft, smoky, vulnerable)
Still here…
Still breathing…
Still standing anyway…
