"Still I Rise"


Sing me a lullaby

Stay with me as time goes by

Catch my tears as I cry

Is it bad to be broken?

And needing help picking up the pieces

My fragmented heart can’t take any more

How many times have you left me on the floor

When I need you the most

You become a ghost

Now I’m haunted by the memories

Cause no matter where I go

They follow me

Reminding me of what we used to be

You tell everyone that you’d be happier if I was gone

Then ask why I’m not picking up the phone

You fix me only to break me again

You always come back to take more of me

But can’t you see?

I’m dead inside

There’s nothing more for you to find

I given everything I am

Just for you to fade away

When I need you the most 

You become a ghost

Your memories haunt me 

When I look into the mirror 

I see nothing, but these empty eyes

Filled nothing but cloudy skies

I should despise you for all the things you put me through

Yet I still want to be the one standing by your side

Why do you haunt me

I can’t break free 

From the cage that you put me in

Chained to the wall and screaming

All I want is to be yours

Why can’t you hear my pleads?

When I need you the most

You become a ghost
