I never know your pain, I've never walked in your shoes
I know your life ain't fair, I know it's damn near killed you
You've been through hell, you blame yourself, a painful past you can't forgive
You had no help but time will tell if it's a curse or it's a gift

But if you're still breathing, breathing
You made it through your darkest days
If your heart's still beating, beating
Then you are gonna be okay
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake
The war in your head tells a story that's still
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing

'Cause you're still breathing
'Cause you're still breathing

If you've been up all-time thinking it won't get better
No need to wear your scars like a scarlet letter
You're on the ledge but not the end, it helped you see another way
A broken heart, a brand new start, tomorrow everything could change

'Cause if you're still breathing, breathing
You made it through your darkest days
If your heart's still beating, beating
Then you are gonna be okay
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake
The war in your head tells a story that's still
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing

You're alive, you survived
It's a sign and the proof is in your pulse
Brighter stars only shine in the dark
You are stronger than you know
You are stronger than you know
You are stronger than you know

So if you're still breathing, breathing (you're still breathing)
You made it through your darkest days
If your heart's still beating, beating (your heart's still beating)
Then you're gonna be okay
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break (you're not dead)
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake
The war in your head tells a story that's still
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing
