Still Standing
I used to let you tear me apart
I let your words fly through me like darts
You pour your water on my fire
Try to dim the light in me
There’s something naked
Something sacred
That you’re never gonna see
Let the rain crash down over my head
You can rip my heart out of my chest
You tell me that you’re my parachute
And I can’t make it without you
But I’ll survive this crash landing
I’ll be still standing, still standing
I’ll wash the dirt and tears from my face (wash the dirt)
And put my pieces back in their place
There’s something primal
In survival
And I’m stronger than I seem
There is beauty in the broken
There’s so much more to me
Let the rain crash down over my head
You can rip my heart out of my chest
You tell me that you’re my parachute
And I can’t make it without you
But I’ll survive this crash landing
I’ll be still standing, still standing
I’ll be still standing, still standing
I used to think that you hung the moon
I’d hang on every word
But now I know that you tore me down
To build yourself up more
I feel sorry for you right now
I feel kind of sorry for you now
Let the rain crash down over my head
You can rip my heart out of my chest
You tell me that you’re my parachute
And I can’t make it without you
But I’ll survive this crash landing
I’ll be still standing, still standing
I’ll be still standing, still standing
