Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I'm still standing
  • (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
  • I'm still standing
  • (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Sing the opening verse

  • You could never know what it's like
  • Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
  • And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
  • You'll wind up like the wreck you hide
standingknownever
