Still Breathing
Verse 1
Beaten down and all tied up
In the coldness of January
I became fearful of everything that surrounded me
I could have sworn that I didn't have an ounce of strength
So I was stunned when I stood up
Being able to walk away was something
I thought I could never do
Verse 2
I pretend that everything's fine
But some things aren't
It's what I do when I don't want to know what's really going on
I thought my life would be easier
Once the past was placed behind me
All I do is complain every day and night
And I am starting to annoy the hell out of me
Bridge
Sometimes I'm so lucky to be alive
But I rarely realize it
I always think about the hard times
While I push all of the good stuff aside
Chorus 1
I am covered with many scars
My heart has been bruised one too many times
All of that is not important to me
All that really matters is that I'm still breathing
Chorus 2
I am covered with many scars
I have been exposed to harsh conditions
All of that is not important to me
All that really matters is that I'm still breathing
Chorus 3
I am covered with many scars
Most will heal while some will remain
All of that is not important to me
All that really matters is that I'm still breathing
