i'm still standing

Lyrics

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 want to rest my soul, here where it can grow without fear, another line, another year, 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 end's in sight, only lovers understand - skin just covers who i am, and i would not trade a line, make it smooth and fine, or pretend that time stands still, i want to rest my soul, here where it can grow without fear, another line, another year, i'm still standing here, see these bruises? see these scars?, heiroglyphs 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 want to rest my soul, here where it can grow without fear, another line, another year, i'm still standing here, i'm still standing here, i'm still standing here
