Still Breathing

Lyrics

[Intro – 15 seconds] (Bluesy guitar riff. Bass joins. Drums build.) Female Hot summer sun… But the sky turned black… Male I saw the fear… Burning in your eyes… Both Hold on… You’re not alone… (Band crashes in.) [Verse 1 – Female] It was a hot summer’s day But the world turned cold that way You locked the door and shut me out While silence filled the house with doubt Through the glass I saw your pain My heart was pounding in my chest Couldn’t reach you through the fear Thought I’d lose you right here [Pre-Chorus – Male] Every lie they whispered Every line they crossed I was losing who I was Before I knew what I’d lost [Chorus – Male & Female] Don’t let them tear us apart Don’t let them poison your heart They lit the fire They fed the flames Tried to wash our love away I saw the darkness in your eyes I’m still standing by your side Still breathing… Still alive… [Verse 2 – Male] Your so-called friends lit the flame Smiled while they played their games I became someone unknown But I still knew where I belonged [Pre-Chorus – Female] I saw the truth behind your face Love was stronger than the pain [Chorus] Don’t let them tear us apart Don’t let them poison your heart They lit the fire They fed the flames Tried to wash our love away I saw the darkness in your eyes I’m still standing by your side Still breathing… Still alive… [Guitar Solo] (12–16 second melodic solo.) [Bridge] They tried to break what love had made But we refused to fade away Still breathing… Still believing… [Final Chorus] Don’t let them tear us apart Don’t let them poison your heart Through every scar Through every lie I’ll stand beside you all my life Love brought us back out of the cold After everything we’ve been through Still breathing… Still alive… [Outro] Female You opened the door… Both Still breathing…
