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
Don't you know I'm still standin' better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
I'm still standin' after all this time
I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Once, I never could have hoped to win
You're startin' down the road, leavin' me again
The threats you made were meant to put me down
And if our love is just a circus, you'd be a clown by now
Well, don't you know I'm still standin' better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, and feelin' like a little kid
Well, I'm still standin' after all this time
I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' better than I ever did
Lookin' like a true survivor, and feelin' like a little kid
For I'm still standin' after all this time
I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Well, I'm still standin'
I'm still standin'
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin'
