Still Standing (versione 2)

Intro

(uh)

Yeah

Verse 1

I still reach for the phone before I remember why

Still set two cups out of habit, still don't ask why

The house got quiet in a way that I can't describe

Like the silence learned my name and decided to reside

I'm still tough, still moving, still doing what I do

But underneath the bravado, I'm still missing you

Nobody sees the cracks when I'm onstage and I'm shining

They just see the confidence, not the nights I spend crying

Pre-Chorus

So if I seem a little harder than before

(than before, than before)

It's just the only way I know to walk through this door

(than before, than before)

Chorus

I'm still standing, but I'm standing with a piece of me gone

I turned the heartbreak into the words of this song

Call it strength, call it scars, call it surviving the fall

This the sound of someone who's still giving it all

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm still standing, but I'm standing with a piece of me gone

(uh, oh-oh)

I turned the heartbreak into the words of this song

Verse 2

People say time heals it, time just changes the shape

Some days I'm fine, some days I can't escape

The way a song or a smell can pull me right back

To a version of life I didn't know that I'd lack

I don't perform the pain, I just carry it with grace

Learned how to smile with the ache still on my face

This rasp in my voice, it's not just for the show

It's every word I couldn't say before I let it go

Pre-Chorus

So if I seem a little harder than before

(than before, than before)

It's just the only way I know to walk through this door

(than before, than before)

Chorus

I'm still standing, but I'm standing with a piece of me gone

I turned the heartbreak into the words of this song

Call it strength, call it scars, call it surviving the fall

This the sound of someone who's still giving it all

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm still standing, but I'm standing with a piece of me gone

(uh, oh-oh)

I turned the heartbreak into the words of this song

Bridge

Still here

(still here)

Still whole, mostly

(still whole, mostly)

Grief don't mean I'm broken

It just means I loved completely

Chorus

I'm still standing, but I'm standing with a piece of me gone

I turned the heartbreak into the words of this song

Call it strength, call it scars, call it surviving the fall

This the sound of someone who's still giving it all

(uh, oh-oh)

I'm still standing, but I'm standing with a piece of me gone

(uh, oh-oh)

I turned the heartbreak into the words of this song

Outro

(uh)

Loved completely

Yeah
