I’ve watched the numbers turn to red
Watched every promise lose its breath
I’ve seen the morning find me here
Still staring down another fear
They say you learn when you let go
Maybe they’re right I wouldn’t know
I’ve lost enough to disappear—
But somehow
I’m still here
Take the money
Take the pride
Take the dream
I held inside
I’m still here
I’m still standing
With empty hands
And nothing planned
I’m still here
Do you hear me
I lost the fight
But not the man
Let every number disappear
Let every ending draw me near
You took almost everything this year—
But I’m still here
I used to think that winning proved
The world would make a place for you
Now all I own is what remains
When nothing shelters you from pain
No perfect trade no second chance
No secret hidden in my hands
Just one more morning sharp and clear—
And somehow
I’m still here
Take the money
Take the pride
There are things
You cannot buy
I’m still here
I’m still standing
With empty hands
And nothing planned
I’m still here
Do you hear me
I lost the fight
But not the man
Let every number disappear
Let every ending draw me near
You took almost everything this year—
But I’m still here
Maybe losing
Wasn’t the end
Maybe breaking
Is how we bend
I don’t need
To win tonight
I just need
To see the light
I’m still here
Still breathing
No borrowed dream
No guarantee
I’m still here
Still believing
There’s something left
That belongs to me
Take every number every year
Every reason I came here
You can take the fortune
Take the fear
But you cannot
Take me
from here
Almost a cappella
I lost the fight
I’m still here
