I wore your name like gold
Held it in my palm
One wrong step and then
Everything went wrong
Cold floor, open hands
A bruise inside my chest
I tried to stand for us
But love don't pass that test
Now I'm staring at the ceiling
Feeling my heart cave in
I can hear the silence
Calling me back again
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
You let go fast
I broke in half
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
Say my name once
Then fade to black
Your jacket on the chair
Still smells like yesterday
I almost reach for it
Then I turn away
I kept your messages
Like sparks under glass
Now every little word
Cuts deeper than the past
Now I'm staring at the ceiling
Feeling my heart cave in
I can hear the silence
Calling me back again
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
You let go fast
I broke in half
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
Say my name once
Then fade to black
If I had one clean breath
I'd give it back to you
But I am full of cracks
And you are lost in blue
Oh-oh, I fell
Oh-oh, I fell
Under your shadow
Under your spell
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
You let go fast
I broke in half
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
Say my name once
Then fade to black
I fell down hard
I fell down hard
Still hear your ghost
When the room goes black
I woke up with rain in my throat
Cracked mug on the counter
Your name on my coat
I fold up the hurt
Like a note in my hand
Still I stand
Still I stand
Breathe in slow
Let it pass
I know the dark
Won't always last
Hands on my heart
I hold the line
One more step
I'm fine
Calm down, calm down
I'm still here
Calm down, calm down
Through the fear
If I break, I bend
Then I rise again
Calm down, calm down
I'm still here
Shoe soles wet on the kitchen tile
Old scars talking
But I smile
There’s a blue flame
Under my skin
I lose, I lose
Then I begin
Breathe in slow
Let it pass
I know the storm
Won't always last
Hands on my heart
I hold the line
One more step
I'm fine
Calm down, calm down
I'm still here
Calm down, calm down
Through the fear
If I break, I bend
Then I rise again
Calm down, calm down
I'm still here
Let the tears run
Let them fall
I’ve been smaller
I've seen it all
But in the ash
There’s a spark
I keep it burning
In the dark
Calm down, calm down
I'm still here
Calm down, calm down
Through the fear
If I break, I bend
Then I rise again
Calm down, calm down
I'm still here
I wake up light on my feet
No crowd, just me and the street
Scuffed white shoes, cracked up phone
Still I walk like I’ve got home
Hands in my pockets, chin high
Tired eyes, but I won’t lie
I’ve cried, then I’ve dried my face
Now I’m learning my own pace
I know the weight
I know the wait
I’ve been low
But I don’t break
Step by step
I’m staying near
To the ground
And through the fear
Lonely but determined
I keep going, I keep going
Down to earth and burning
I keep going, I keep going
(Keep going)
Still I rise, still I learn
(Lonely but determined)
I keep going, I keep going
Late bus hiss, rain on glass
No one saw me, but I passed
Small town roads, grocery bags
Big dreams folded in my bag
I don’t need gold to glow
I’ve got roots that help me grow
Every scar is a map I keep
Every night made my heart more deep
I know the weight
I know the wait
I’ve been low
But I don’t break
Step by step
I’m staying near
To the ground
And through the fear
Lonely but determined
I keep going, I keep going
Down to earth and burning
I keep going, I keep going
(Keep going)
Still I rise, still I learn
(Lonely but determined)
I keep going, I keep going
If I fall, I fall awake
If I bend, I won’t replace
Who I am, I keep it true
Quiet fire running through
No big throne
No perfect scene
Just my name
And what I mean
Lonely but determined
I keep going, I keep going
Down to earth and burning
I keep going, I keep going
(Keep going)
Still I rise, still I learn
(Lonely but determined)
I keep going, I keep going
(Keep going)
