Lyrics

 

[VERSE 1]
I used to wait for every sign
Every shift that crossed my mind
Reading silence like a code
Hoping something there would grow, mmm
But every circle felt the same
Different faces, same delays
I kept slowing down my steps
Just to feel less out of place, mmm

[PRE-Chorus]
I carried weight without a sound
I bent my pace to stay aligned
Some things don't break, they just fall off
When they no longer fit the climb

[Chorus]
I kept moving while I stayed the same
I stopped waiting for the world to change
I don't need saving, I don't need the crowd
I'm still standing, just louder now

[HOOK]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, louder now
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, louder now

[VERSE 2]
I don't replay what slowed me down
I don't rehearse the way it felt
What I was isn't where I am
I won't stay smaller than myself
Some rooms are built to keep you still
Like comfort is a form of sleep
But I don't live inside a pause
I move with what I need to be

[PRE-Chorus]
I stopped asking to be seen
By echoes stuck in yesterday
Some distances are not mistakes
They're just the cost of moving on

[Chorus]
I kept moving while I stayed the same
I stopped waiting for the world to change
I don't need saving, I don't need the crowd
I'm still standing, just louder now

[HOOK]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, louder now
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh

[BRIDGE]
No more explaining what was never asked
No more holding what couldn't last
This isn't anger, this is clarity
I didn't lose anything, I set it free
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
I kept moving, yeah, I paid the cost
What stood behind me fell into noise
I don't owe silence, I don't owe doubt
I'm still standing, and I know now

[OUTRO]
Oh-oh, still standing
Oh-oh, still in motion
Oh-oh, mmm
