Here I Stand
Call It Out! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All the words I said
Everything I said
Wasn't enough
Voices in my head
Every tear I shed
Was it enough?

'Cause you built me up
Just to tear me down
But I won't be lost
Where you're found

'Cause here I stand
Here I am
Here I stand
Here I am

I was losing my will
Everything would still
Make me feel stuck
Then the pressure built
Everything I felt
Pushing your luck

'Cause you built me up
Just to tear me down
But I won't be lost where you're found

'Cause here I stand
Here I am
Here I stand
Here I am

Once so close
Now we're falling from so high
Left here with your ghost
To wonder why

All the words I said
Every tear I shed
Was it enough?

Here I stand
Here I am
Here I stand
Here I am

All the words I said




Every tear I shed
Wasn't enough
