Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh-oh
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I woke up swinging at the morning light
Every door I knocked on slammed shut tight
They said sit down boy know your place
I wore their bruises like a second face
But something in my chest refused to quit
Kept striking matches on the edge of it
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me now
Tell me now
Who's gonna stop me
[Chorus]
I'm still standing
I'm still breathing
I'm still swinging
Won't stop believing
Cut me down I get back up
Fill my cup I spill enough
I'm still standing
I'm still here
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey
Hey hey
[Verse 2]
My father worked his knuckles to the bone
Came home smaller than he'd left alone
I learned to carry what I couldn't hold
To trade my silence for a story told
They built their walls I built a louder sound
The kind that shakes the dirt right off the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me now
Tell me now
Who's gonna stop me
[Chorus]
I'm still standing
I'm still breathing
I'm still swinging
Won't stop believing
Cut me down I get back up
Fill my cup I spill enough
I'm still standing
I'm still here
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey
Hey hey
[Bridge]
Break me
Bend me
Bury me deep
I claw my way out while the whole town sleeps
Break me
Bend me
Bury me deep
The fire I carry is the fire I keep
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm still standing
I'm still breathing
I'm still swinging
Won't stop believing
Cut me down I get back up
Fill my cup I spill enough
I'm still standing
I'm still here
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey
Hey hey
Yeah
Hey hey
