Still Standing After All This – The Hallow Keys

Verse

Boxes stacked by the kitchen door

Your handwriting on the tape, nothing more

Porch light flickers on the empty drive

Half past seven, and I'm still alive

Pre-Chorus

So how do I say this

When the words keep breaking

How do I let go

Of everything I'm making

Chorus

I'm still standing after all this

After every door that closed on me

Still breathing in the quiet

Still finding I can breathe

The ground gave out beneath me

But my feet found solid ground

I'm still standing after all this

Still here, still found

Verse

Two coffee cups, I wash just one

Learning how a Tuesday can be done

Your sweater's folded on the closet shelf

I keep the parts of you I need myself

Pre-Chorus

So how do I say this

When the words keep breaking

How do I let go

Of everything I'm making

Chorus

I'm still standing after all this

After every door that closed on me

Still breathing in the quiet

Still finding I can breathe

The ground gave out beneath me

But my feet found solid ground

I'm still standing after all this

Still here, still found

Bridge

Maybe leaving isn't losing

Maybe this is just the proving

That the heart can crack wide open

And keep on choosing, keep on choosing

I didn't fall apart forever

I just fell, and then I stood

Chorus

I'm still standing after all this

After every door that closed on me

Still breathing in the quiet

Still finding I can breathe

The ground gave out beneath me

But my feet found solid ground

I'm still standing after all this

Still here, still found

I'm still standing after all this

Still standing now
