"Standing" lyrics

"Standing"

I tried to be cool
Covered up my arms in tattoos
And I don't know why
I barely get by
But I'm still standing

Sold it all and I hit the road
Found myself a room and some vintage clothes
I'm still lonely
I met a beauty with bright blue hair
Posted lots of pictures just to see who cares
She says she loves me
But I still feel ugly

I tried to be cool
Covered up my arms in tattoos
And I don't know why
I barely get by
But I'm still standing
I tried to fit in
But I feel lost in my skin
And I don't know how
I got so far down
But I'm still standing

Lost some friends and fell out of touch
Found a bottle and I drank too much
It still haunts me
I kept relying on the same excuse
Told so many lies I forgot the truth
It weighs on me
But it's still hard to say sorry

I tried to be cool
Covered up my arms in tattoos
And I don't know why
I barely get by
But I'm still standing
I tried to fit in
But I feel lost in my skin
And I don't know how
I got so far down
But I'm still standing

Heartbreak, strange days I'm still holding on
All the falling and crawling
And crashing and burning
It all just made me strong

I tried to be cool
Covered up my arms in tattoos
And I don't know why
I barely get by
But I'm still standing
I tried to fit in
But I feel lost in my skin
And I don't know how
I got so far down
But I'm still standing
