I'm Still Standing

See these lines on my face?
They're a map of where I've been
And the deeper they are traced
The deeper life has settled in

How do we survive
Living out our lives?

And I would not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I wanna rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
Another line, another year
And I'm still standing here

See these marks on my skin?
They're the lyric of my life
Every story I begin
Just means another ends in sight

Only lovers understand
Skin just covers who I am

See these bruises, see these scars?
Hieroglyphs that tell the tale
You can read them in the dark
Through your fingertips like Braille

See these bruises, see these scars?
Hieroglyphs that tell the tale
You can read them in the dark
Through your fingertips like Braille

And I would not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I wanna rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
Another line, another year
And I'm still standing here

I'm still standing here
I'm still standing here
I'm still standing here
