letra de still trying - my song (youtube)

(intro/ad libs)
ahh-ohhh
ahh-ohhh
ahh-ohhh
uh-uhh-uh-uh

(verse 1)
i been walking in these shoes till the skin starts tearing
some days i can’t stand up, so i’m stuck there staring
mind like a mansion with the lights all out
downstairs in the dark where i hide my doubts

pages on the floor with the pain i bleed
memories in corners no one wants to read
he hurt me young, left marks inside
now he lives in a room in the back of my mind

mom said, “let him tuck you in,” like it was fine
but that night stayed carved in the spine of my life
lost babies, lost chances, lost pieces of me
some scars fade slow, some never leave

i say i’m fine just to make it through
but the truth is heavy and it pulls me too
fear every morning, threats every day
tryna breathe through the panic that won’t go away
and i am not exactly depressed, not exactly sad
but life took something from me, something i wish i could have
something that made it harder to smile

(chorus)
i’m still trying
even when i’m breaking, i’m still trying
the past won’t let me go, but i’m still trying
i don’t know who i’d be without surviving
but i’m still trying
but i’m still trying

(verse 2)
trauma never taught me how to grow, just how to freeze
how to flinch at the sound of a voice that screams
people say i’m strong, no, i’m just alive
doing what i had to do so i could survive

i hate what my body remembers at night
the shadows, the shaking, the “is this alright?”
wish i could trust it, wish i could heal
wish healthy didn’t feel like something unreal

i love too hard, guard too tight
break inside but i still hold light
i stay loyal even when i’m falling apart
i give the best parts away while you tear at my heart
i think about the girl i could’ve been
no fear, no yelling, no bruised up skin
a life where joy wasn’t foreign or strange
where love didn’t feel like something i had to change

(verse 3)
ptsd ain’t me holding on
it’s the past grabbing tight like it won’t be gone
people ask why i jump when a hand comes near
because once i learned that a hand meant fear

i’m tired of living in survival mode
carrying this weight like a heavy load
wearing a smile with a soul that aches
trying to fix wounds i didn’t make

no role models, just warnings in skin
people i swore i’d never be again
systems failed me, foster left cracks
a baby born hurt and handed right back
i am not just one voice crying about dcp
there are many like me who never got to speak
some trapped in homes no one checked twice
some made it out but couldn’t survive their life
and some of us here, barely getting by
trying to build a future while learning not to cry

trying to heal from trauma we didn’t choose
foster care battles and childhoods we lose

but i’m still here in these blistered shoes
still crawling forward with nothing to lose
call it survival, call it breath, call it fight
i’m chasing a life that finally feels right

(verse 4)
i break down when the room gets quiet
memories loud like a storm inside it
i shut off when the pain gets near
hide my face so you won’t see fear

but i don’t want to disappear tonight
i just want a life where i feel alright
i just want peace, just one safe place
one steady heartbeat in this broken sp-ce

(chorus/outro)
i’m still trying
even when i’m breaking, i’m still trying
the past won’t let me go, but i’m still trying
i don’t know who i’d be without surviving
but i’m still trying
but i’m still trying
