STILL ALIVE

[Verse 1] I trusted every word you said While shadows danced around my bed You promised forever and a day Then watched my world dissolve away The ring felt heavy on my hand Like chains I could not understand [Pre-Chorus] But tears can only fall so long Before the heart learns to be strong I swept the ashes from the floor And walked right through the open door [Chorus] Now I write my own true story No longer lost in your dark glory Every word is mine to keep Awake while you were fast asleep I found my voice within the pain Standing tall inside the rain [Verse 2] The coffee tastes better alone In this quiet house I call my own No walking on eggshells anymore Just peace behind the locked front door I bought a notebook bound in blue To start a life that's fresh and new [Pre-Chorus] The fear has faded into dust Replaced by something like trust Not in you but in myself Putting old dreams on the shelf [Chorus] Now I write my own true story No longer lost in your dark glory Every word is mine to keep Awake while you were fast asleep I found my voice within the pain Standing tall inside the rain [Bridge] They say that time heals every wound But action breaks the heavy mood I turned the page and started fresh Freeing my soul from your mesh [Chorus] See me write my own true story Rising from the ash and glory Every chapter clear and bright Walking out into the light I found my voice within the pain Dancing freely in the rain [Outro] The book is done, the title set A future I will not forget
