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

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Once, I never coulda hoped to win

You're startin' down the road, leavin' 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]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Don't you know that 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

[Post-Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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