You forgot my birthday again
Left me waiting in the rain
Said I wasn't worth the trouble
But I'm not carrying your pain
You said I was too quiet
Too soft for this hard world
But soft things survive the winter
Ask any flower, ask any girl
I could let the frost take over
Close my petals, call it done
But there's something in me stronger
That keeps reaching for the sun
I'm still blooming
Even when you said I'd break
Still blooming
For my own damn sake
You thought you could crush me
Leave me in the dark
But I'm still blooming
With or without your heart
They said I give too much
Love too hard, care too deep
Like being kind was something
I should be ashamed to keep
But I'd rather be a flower
That opens to the rain
Than a stone that feels nothing
Just to avoid the pain
I could build a wall around me
Never let another soul in
But then I wouldn't be me anymore
And that's how they really win
I'm still blooming
Even when the world is cold
Still blooming
Refusing to fold
You thought you could dim me
Make me hide my light
But I'm still blooming
And I'll bloom all night
To every heart that's been stepped on
Every soul that's been told "too much"
Every dreamer who kept dreaming
Even when it hurt to trust
This song is your permission
To be soft and still be strong
The ones who tried to break you
Were the ones who had it wrong
We're still blooming
Even in the cracks of stone
Still blooming
We were never meant to bloom alone
They thought they could stop us
Make us wither and hide
But we're still blooming
With gardens inside
I'm still blooming
Watch me bloom
Still blooming
And so are you
Still blooming...
