Verse 1
The night feels heavy on my chest tonight
Broken dreams and borrowed courage
Promises we swore would hold the light
Now they echo in the silence
We’ve choked on words we never said
Let tears fall where hope once lay
But even bruised and barely breathing
I still hear your heartbeat say
Pre-Chorus
If the world turns its back on us
If the doors all slam shut tight
I’ll be here, hand in your hand
Choosing you, choosing the fight
Chorus
Who cares what they say we don’t need their doubts
We’ve been hurt, bruised and dragged through the mud
Through the cracks, through the heartaches
We are stronger than we’ve been credited for
Even if the whole world’s against us
We won’t run, we won’t fall apart
We bend, we break, but we still stand
Love like ours still beats in the dark
Verse 2
Scars don’t lie, they tell the truth
Of battles fought in quiet rooms
Every tear was proof we tried
Every loss still led to you
They said we’re wrong, they said we’d fail
Said this road’s too hard to take
But hope is stitched in stubborn ways
Into every breath we make
Pre-Chorus
So when the ground is shaking hard
And fear whispers “let this go”
We’ll scream louder than the storm
This is all we’ll ever know
Chorus
Who cares what they say we don’t need their doubts
We’ve been hurt, bruised and dragged through the mud
Through the cracks, through the heartaches
We are stronger than we’ve been credited for
Even if the whole world’s against us
We won’t run, we won’t fall apart
We bend, we break, but we still stand
Love like ours still beats in the dark
Bridge
We’re not fearless
We’re just brave enough to stay
When every easy answer
Tells us to walk away
If this is war, then we choose love
If this is pain, we’ll endure
No matter how hard it gets
We know what we’re fighting for
Final Chorus
Who cares what they say we don’t need their doubts
We’ve been hurt, bruised and dragged through the mud
Through the cracks, through the heartaches
We are stronger than we’ve been credited for
Even if the whole world’s against us
We won’t run, we won’t fall apart
We bend, we break, but we still stand
Love like ours still beats in the dark
Still we stand… still we stand
Outro
When the lights go out
And the night feels long
I’ll still be here
Proving them wrong
