I don’t talk about the nights I almost quit
Or the weight I learned how to sit with
I just kept showing up the same
Even when nothing wanted to change

I’ve worn blame that wasn’t mine
Held my tongue, crossed a line
Didn’t win, didn’t lose
Just learned what I could live through

I ain’t proud of every scar
But I know how I got ‘em

I’m hard to kill
I don’t shine, I don’t break
I just bend and heal
Yeah I’ve been down, stayed still
Watched the whole world pass me by
But I’m hard to kill
Still breathing, still real
Still here — and that’s the deal

I’ve been underestimated quiet
Watched loud mouths burn out trying
I learned patience the hard way
Let time do what pride couldn’t say

I don’t chase what don’t stay
I don’t beg, I don’t pray out loud
I just keep my head level
And my feet on the ground

You don’t see it ‘til it’s done
But I was never gone

I’m hard to kill
I don’t rush, I don’t fake
I just take the hit
Yeah I’ve lost, yeah I’ve healed
Yeah I’ve stood in my own way
But I’m hard to kill
Still breathing, still real
Still here — and I earned that deal

No victory laps
No last words
Just a man who learned
How to carry the hurt

I’m hard to kill
Not loud, not cold
Just built this way
Yeah I’ve been down, paid the bill
Still standing where I lay
I’m hard to kill
Still breathing, still real
Still here — and I earned it

Yeah… I earned it
