Verse One:
I'm looking at my memoirs in the mirror
Thinking how the hell did I get here?
It's been a long winding road
You can see it on my face
Every tear, every victory
Made me who I am today
Pre-Chorus:
But I'm still breathing
I'm still going strong
No, I'm still breathing
On the road less travelled on
Yeah, I'm still breathing
Gonna give it all I've got
I just wish that you could see
I'm a person just like you baby!
Chorus:
I live my life like a circus
Like I'm walking on a tightrope
Might fall, might get nervous
All these people watching, talking about me
Can I live my life?
Like I'm dying, through with
Trying, crying, you threw me to the lions
And I walked out alive
Now I just wanna live my life (x4)
Verse Two:
I'm looking at my memoirs in the mirror
Wishing my reflection was more clear
It's been a long winding road
Lost myself along the way
Every smile, every heartache
Is a demon I have to face
Pre-Chorus:
But I'm still breathing
I'm still going strong
No, I'm still breathing
On the road less travelled on
Yeah, I'm still breathing
Gonna give it all I've got
I just wish that you could see
I need a little space for me!
Chorus:
I live my life like a circus
Like I'm walking on a tightrope
Might fall, might get nervous
All these people watching, talking about me
Can I live my life?
Like I'm dying, through with
Trying, crying, you threw me to the lions
And I walked out alive
Now I just wanna live my life (x4)
Bridge:
This life, this life I was given
Hard to admit but I'm only human
I can only take so much
This life, this life isn't ours
Hard to believe but my faith gives me power
I can see when I close my eyes
(close my eyes)
Chorus (x2):
I live my life like a circus
Like I'm walking on a tightrope
Might fall, might get nervous
All these people watching, talking about me
Can I live my life?
Like I'm dying (dying), through with
Trying, crying, you threw me to the lions
And I walked out alive
Now I just wanna live my life (x4)
