I'm Still Standing
Jared Halley Lyrics

You could never know what it’s like
The pain and suffering I've been through is unique to me and impossible to fully comprehend.

Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice
You are cold and indifferent, lacking in empathy or warmth.

And there's a cold, lonely light that shines from you
Your presence is bleak and unwelcoming, emitting a desolate aura.

You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
Your facade will eventually crumble, leaving you as broken and shattered as the image you present to the world.

And did you think this fool could never win?
You underestimated my ability to overcome adversity and achieve success.

Well look at me, I'm a-coming back again
Despite everything I've been through, I'm still here and ready to keep fighting.

I got a taste of love in a simple way
I experienced the joy of love in a straightforward, uncomplicated manner.

And if you need to know while I'm still standing
To anyone who doubts me, I am proof that resilience and perseverance can lead to survival and triumph.

You just fade away
You will eventually disappear and become irrelevant in my life.

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
I am in a better place now than I ever have been before, despite the hardships I've faced.

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I appear tough and strong on the surface, but inside I feel a sense of childlike wonder and amazement at my own resilience.

And I'm still standing after all this time
Despite everything I've been through, I have not fallen or given up.

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I am able to move forward and rebuild my life without the burden of thoughts about you weighing me down.

Once I never coulda hoped to win
There was a time when I thought I could never succeed or overcome the obstacles in my path.

You starting down the road, leaving me again
You abandoned me and left me to face my struggles alone.

The threats you made were meant to cut me down
Your words and actions were intended to break my spirit and destroy my confidence.

And if our love was just a circus, you’d be a clown by now
If our relationship was a performance, you would be the comical and ridiculous figure.

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I am still here, still strong, and still fighting despite everything.

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
My resilience cannot be broken, my spirit cannot be crushed.

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I will continue to persevere and thrive, no matter what challenges come my way.
