Here I Stand
Heartbreak Symphony: Standing Alone, Wishing for Another
Lyrics
My hands shake 'cause today
Feeling nervous or anxious today
I know you're gonna break my heart and
Aware that heartbreak is imminent
My life without you in it
Life without the person is unbearable
Is a life that's not worth living
Without the person, life lacks value
I'll be strong but I wish I was someone else
Determined to be strong but desires to be someone else
Anyone but me tonight
Wishing to be anyone else tonight
Here I stand (here I stand)
Expressing a stand or position
All alone (here I stand)
Being alone in the current situation
Tonight (here I stand)
Emphasizing the present moment
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Wishing for strength to breathe without the person
Without you (here I stand)
Existing without the person
In my life (here I stand)
Reflecting on one's life
I wish I was anyone but me
Desire to be someone else
So I'll start to pretend I'm ok
Choosing to pretend being okay
But you should know by now that
Acknowledging the deception in one's life
My life is smoke and mirrors
Life is filled with illusions
The one thing is crystal clear
Despite illusions, the desire is clear
That I'm the one wishing I was someone else
Wishing to be someone else despite illusions
Anyone but me tonight
Continuing the desire to be someone else
Here I stand (here I stand)
Reiteration of standing alone
All alone (here I stand)
Emphasizing solitude
Tonight (here I stand)
Highlighting the present solitary state
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Desiring strength to breathe without the person
Without you (here I stand)
Existence without the person
In my life (here I stand)
Reflection on life without the person
I wish I was anyone but me
Reiterating the wish to be someone else
(Where do we go, where do we go)
Pose a question about the future direction
Inside I start to fall apart (where do we go)
Internal struggle leading to falling apart
And I'll pretend I'm holding on (where do we go)
Pretending to hold on despite challenges
I guess I'll bleed in silence (in silence)
Accepting suffering silently
I guess I'll bleed in silence
Reiteration of silent suffering
Here I stand (here I stand)
Restating the current stand or position
All alone, (here I stand)
Emphasizing aloneness
Tonight (here I stand)
Reiteration of the present moment
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Desiring strength to breathe without the person
Without you (here I stand)
Existing without the person
In my life (here I stand)
Reflecting on life without the person
I wish I was anyone but me
Reiterating the wish to be someone else
All alone (here I stand)
Emphasizing being alone
Tonight (here I stand)
Highlighting the present solitary state
And I wish I was strong enough to breathe (here I stand)
Desiring strength to breathe without the person
Without you, (here I stand)
Existing without the person
In my life (here I stand)
Reflecting on life without the person
I wish I was anyone but me
Reiterating the wish to be someone else
