Prompt:
[Intro] I kept the door unlocked for the person I could be Even when the room was cold, even when I couldn't see [Verse 1] I learned to count my wins in inches, not in miles A cracked phone on the table, still I answered with a smile Mama said, “You’re more than what the hard days call you” So I carried every scar like a promise I could follow I missed a few exits, took the long way home Found strength in the places where I felt alone Every no left room for a yes to find me Every closed hand taught me what was mine to keep [Pre-Chorus] If I bend, I won’t break There’s a pulse beneath the weight [Chorus] I’m still here, still breathing Still reaching through the ceiling The dark can mark my skin But it won’t decide who wins I came too far to disappear I turned my doubt into a frontier When the whole world says let go I hold on, I hold on [Verse 2] There were nights I made a bed beside the worry Watched the clock drag its feet, felt the future in a hurry But I wrote down one reason, then another by the morning Small flames in a paper cup, enough to keep me moving Now the mirror knows the name I used to hide I can see the younger me still standing by my side I don’t need a perfect road, just somewhere I can start A steady hand, a little faith, and an honest heart [Pre-Chorus] If I bend, I won’t break There’s a pulse beneath the weight [Chorus] I’m still here, still breathing Still reaching through the ceiling The dark can mark my skin But it won’t decide who wins I came too far to disappear I turned my doubt into a frontier When the whole world says let go I hold on, I hold on [Bridge] Tell the fear it has a deadline Tell the past it lost its claim I can walk into the sunrise Without needing to erase the pain [Final Chorus] I’m still here, still breathing Now the whole room feels me leaving The dark can mark my skin But it won’t decide who wins I came too far to disappear I found a future waiting here When the whole world says let go I hold on, I hold on [Outro] One more step, one more dawn I hold on, I hold on
