I never thought that I'd be okay with the lights on
I never thought that you'd be eager for my shirt off
I never knew that I was six foot one
I always felt so small girl until you came along
Now I'm borderlining
Riding silver linings
Somehow I'm surviving
Because because because
Baby you built me up so well
When you removed yourself
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Baby you taught me how to love myself
So when there's no one else
I'm still standing
Baby you taught me how to love a woman well
Now I'm sharing it with someone else
I'm barely standing
Baby you built me up so well
Now that I'm by myself
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I always knew that I could change the world
But no one ever took me at my word
You would always listen, you'd lend me all your senses
Then you'd nod your head yes and tell me I could do it all
Now I'm soaring skyward
Spending all my time on
Things my heart gets high on
Because because because
Baby you built me up so well
When you removed yourself
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Baby you taught me how to love myself
So when there's no one else
I'm still standing
Baby you taught me how to love a woman well
Now I'm sharing it with someone else
I'm barely standing
Baby you built me up so well
Now that I'm by myself
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
If I could do it all again
You know I'd do it, do it better
If I could remove it all from my head
You know I'd never, you know I'd never
Baby you built me up so well
Now that I'm by myself
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
