Lyrics — Still Standing In The Dark

Verse 1
I don’t know when it started
But I know when I noticed
I was smiling for people
While my soul was homeless
I grew up learning how to stay quiet
How to read a room and never start riots
How to be strong so nobody panics
How to carry pain and never show damage

Verse 2
They tell me be grateful, I try, I swear
But gratitude’s hard when you’re gasping for air
I learned how to drown with my eyes open wide
Still waving my hands like I’m doing just fine
I keep my voice low, keep my head down
They love me most when I don’t make a sound
But I’m tired of surviving in pieces
Tired of praying but never feeling Jesus

Chorus
I’m still standing in the dark
With a light that barely works
Trying not to fall apart
While I say that I’m not hurt
I’ve been holding up the walls
So nobody sees them crack
I’m still standing in the dark
Asking God to take me back

Verse 3
I was taught love is something you earn
So I burned myself just to deserve
Every be better, every not yet
Every promise God hasn’t kept
I watched my heroes turn into scars
Watched my prayers hit the ceiling and fall apart
They say you’re young, you’ll understand
But nobody listens when a kid needs a hand
Pre-Chorus
I don’t want fame, I don’t want lights
I just want peace when I close my eyes
If this is strength, then tell me why
Being strong feels like slowly dying

Chorus
I’m still standing in the dark
With my back against the wall
Every tear I never cried
Is the reason that I crawl
I keep saying I’m okay
Like it’s something I believe
I’m still standing in the dark
Begging Heaven not to leave

Bridge
I don’t need saving
I need understanding
I don’t need fixing
I need someone to stay when
I say I’m tired
And mean it spiritually
When I say I’m hurting
And don’t mean physically
I carried burdens that weren’t mine to hold
Got old too fast, yeah, I grew up cold
If God’s still listening, here’s my truth
I didn’t quit — I just ran out of youth

Final Chorus
I’m still standing in the dark
But I swear I tried my best
I built a home inside my chest
Just for pain and emptiness
If I break, don’t say I’m weak
Say I stayed longer than I could
I’m still standing in the dark
Doing everything I should
