[Verse 1]
It was almost every night
I'd be blinded by the light
With the sun, I drag myself to bed
Sometimes, I'd wake up in a sweat
All my sheets were soaking wet
With the sounds exploding in my head

[Verse 2]
There's a uniform I wore
Hanging on the closet door
I put it on to feel it one more time
These memories I can't erase
Like the lines across my face
I can't seem to leave this dream behind

[Chorus]
I'm still hanging on
I'm still hanging on
There were people making bets
That I'd be dead and gone
Ah, but I'm still hanging on

[Verse 3]
So many friends along the way
I lost and they're not here today
One wrong move and you'd be history
I was trying to pull my life together
You could knock me down with just a feather
How I'm still here remains a mystery
[Chorus]
I'm still hanging on
I'm still hanging on
There were people making bets
That I'd be dead and gone
Ah, but I'm still hanging on
I'm still hanging on
I'm still hanging on
Even some of my friends say
That I was too far gone
Ah, but I'm still hanging on
