Lyric

I was always told when I was young

“Live your life for someone else”

Running wild on borrowed youth

Getting hurt like it was yesterday itself

And now somehow, here I stand

Doing work I never planned

Holding up the weak at heart

Those in pain, torn apart

Sometimes I sing just for myself

Sometimes for the one I love

That’s the song my life became

From above… or from the dust

I always felt no matter what

Nothing ever went my way

Drinking hard, blaming the wine

Letting gentle hands slip away

And now somehow, here I stand

Doing work I never planned

Holding up the weak at heart

Those in pain, torn apart

Sometimes I sing just for myself

Sometimes for the one I love

That’s the song my life became

Written soft, not loud enough

I never knew, I never saw

Time turns pages quietly

Life just passes, page by page

Without asking anything of me

Cold news voices filled the air

I wore indifference like a shield

And now somehow, here I stand

Learning what is real to feel

And now somehow, here I stand

Doing work I never planned

Holding up the weak at heart

Those in pain, torn apart

Sometimes I sing just for myself

Sometimes for the one I love

That’s the song my life became

A song I never meant to write, but wrote

I sing… and I’m still here
