Not Gone (Deluxe Edition)
From Unbroken
Verse 1:
I’m still right here, just quieter now
Still got the fire, I just don’t shout
I’ve been walking through heavier days
Learning new ways how to stay
Verse 2:
I don’t need the lights on me
I don’t need the crowd to see
I know where that girl still lives
I visit her when I need to breathe
Pre-Chorus:
I don’t owe the world a smile
I don’t have to prove I’m fine
But don’t confuse my calm
For losing who I am
Chorus:
I’m not gone, I’m just holding my ground
Still got my feet on solid ground
I’m not lost, I just took my time
Still got the spark, it’s mine
It’s not loud, but it’s strong somehow
I’m not gone, I’m still here right now
Verse 3:
I still laugh when the moment’s right
Still feel that pull toward open skies
I just learned how to carry more
Without leaving myself behind
Pre-Chorus:
I don’t need to run ahead
I don’t need to rush what’s next
I know exactly where I stand
And I’m okay with that
Chorus:
I’m not gone, I’m just holding my ground
Still got my feet on solid ground
I’m not lost, I just took my time
Still got the spark, it’s mine
It’s not loud, but it’s strong somehow
I’m not gone, I’m still here right now
Bridge:
I don’t have to be the same
To still be real, to still remain
Everything I’ve been through
Didn’t take the light — it grew
Final Chorus:
I’m not gone, I’m just standing tall
Still hear my name when I call
I’m not lost, I just changed my pace
Still got joy in this space
It’s not loud, but it’s strong somehow
I’m not gone, I’m still here right now
