I’m Still Standing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
[Verse 2]
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing, you just fade away
[Chorus]
And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Once I never could've hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now
You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
[Verse 2]
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing, you just fade away
[Chorus]
And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Once I never could've hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now
[Chorus]
And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
And don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, I'm feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
I'm picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
