Lyrics Still Myself - Melissa Manchester

Still Myself

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
