I'm Still Standing Lyrics

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-coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing
You just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Once I never coulda hoped to win
You starting 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

You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did?
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
And I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standing

What is the Meaning of I'm Still Standing?

This vibrant anthem encapsulates resilience and self-empowerment in the face of adversity. The lyrics depict a protagonist who has successfully overcome challenges, symbolized by a past relationship, that were intended to bring him down. Despite the coldness and threats from his former partner, he emerges triumphant, comparing himself to a survivor and feeling rejuvenated like a child. The repetitive chorus "I'm still standing" serves as an assertive declaration of his strength and endurance after all this time. The song is not about dwelling on past hurts but celebrating personal growth and independence achieved through difficult times. It's an ode to resilience, asserting one's worth and moving forward without holding onto past negativity.
