I Survived

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You couldn’t see the tears I cried, I learned to smile while hurt inside. Every scar tells where I’ve been, But they don’t say how strong I’ve been. [Pre-Chorus] You tried to break my heart apart, But you could never steal my spark. [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still alive, You knocked me down, but I survived. Through the darkness, through the pain, I found the sun, I danced in rain. My story isn’t ending here, I’m stronger now than all my fears. You don’t define this life of mine, I broke the chain, I took back mine. [Verse 2] I carried storms you never knew, While pretending I was fine with you. I learned to stand on shaky ground, And made a home where I was found. [Pre-Chorus] You tried to break my heart apart, But you could never steal my spark. [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still alive, You knocked me down, but I survived. Through the darkness, through the pain, I found the sun, I danced in rain. My story isn’t ending here, I’m stronger now than all my fears. You don’t define this life of mine, I broke the chain, I took back mine. [Bridge] I won’t shrink to fit your shame, I won’t answer to your blame. What you left, I turned to gold, Now I’m brave, and I’m in control. [Final Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still alive, You knocked me down, but I survived. Through the darkness, through the pain, I found the sun, I danced in rain. My story isn’t ending here, I’m stronger now than all my fears. You don’t define this life of mine, I broke the chain, I took back mine.
