Still Myself - Melissa Manchester

Thought I’d live by your side

And die in your arms

We were close as the wind to the rain

Thought I’d take on your dreams

And bathe in your light

But this moment is all that remains

And I know I’ll make something from nothing

But that first step’s the hardest to take

So I will still myself

Conquer my fears

And I will steel myself

Cushion the fall

And I will still myself

So deep in the silence

Til I recall, I’m still myself after all

I know that I’ve never

Walked in these shoes

And your footprints have washed in the sand

No, I can’t stay forever

Waiting by the shore

But my life feels like some foreign land
