Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You could never know what it's like

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice

And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you

You'll wind up like the wreck you hide

Behind that mask you use

[Verse 2]

And did you think this fool could never win?

Well look at me, I'm a-comin' back again

I got a taste of love in a simple way

And if you need to know while I'm still standin'

You just fade away

[Chorus]

Don't you know, I'm still standin' better than I ever did?

Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid

And I'm still standin' after all this time

Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

[Refrain]

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 3]

Once I never coulda hoped to win

You startin' down the road leaving me again

The threats you made were meant to cut me down

And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now

[Chorus]

No, I'm still standin' better than I ever did

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

I'm still standin', after all this time

Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

[Refrain]

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]

Don't you know that I'm still standin' better than I ever did?

Lookin' like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

And I'm still standin' after all this time

Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

[Refrain]

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin'
