Still Breathing

The ceiling’s staring back at me again

Same four walls, same 3AM

I’ve been carrying what I never say

Smiling in the light, breaking in the grey

All these messages I never send

Playing every ending in my head

I was close to disappearing too

Till I heard that little voice come through

Every time I’m almost gone

Something quiet pulls me on

I’m not fixed, but I’m not through

There’s a fight in me I never knew

I’m still breathing

Even when the nights press in

I’m still breathing

Turning all this damage into skin

I was close to letting go

Now I know I’m not alone

I’m still breathing

I’m still, I’m still breathing

Still breathing, still breathing

I’m still, I’m still breathing

I used to think I had to stay the same

Hide the cracks and cover up the shame

But every fault line that I tried to hide

Became the map that kept me here alive

I’m not the person that I was before

I’ve lost some pieces, but I’ve found more

If I’m the only one who hears this song

I’ll still sing it just to stay strong

Every time I’m almost gone

Something quiet pulls me on

I’m not fixed, but I’m not through

There’s a fight in me I never knew

I’m still breathing

Even when the nights press in

I’m still breathing

Turning all this damage into skin

I was close to letting go

Now I know I’m not alone

I’m still breathing

I’m still, I’m still breathing

If you’re fading in your room tonight

Thinking no one sees your silent fight

Let this be the proof you need

You’re not weak for choosing to proceed

We’re not broken, just in repair

We’re not lost, we’re getting there

Stay one more minute, one more day

We’re still here, we’re allowed to stay

We’re still breathing

Even when the nights press in

We’re still breathing

Turning all this damage into skin

We were close to letting go

Now we know we’re not alone

We’re still breathing

We’re still, we’re still breathing

Still breathing, still breathing

We’re still, we’re still breathing
