I'm Still Standing

Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast

You could never know what it's like

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice

And there's a cold and 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 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

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 could hope 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



Y' know, I'm still standing better than I ever did

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

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

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
