I'm Still Here

Текст песни

[Verse 1] The rent notice curls by the kitchen sink Cold coffee stains the page Your work boots wait beside the door Like they’re tired of carrying the day The phone keeps lighting up with names I don’t have the strength to call I count the cracks above the bed And try not to count them all [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Just get through tonight” I say, “I’m trying, I swear” [Chorus] Life is hell, but I’m still here With both feet planted, teeth clenched clear Let the hard days take their toll They don’t get to own my soul Life is hell, but hear me well: I’m not the worst thing that befell [Verse 2] The bus runs late in the sleeting dark My hands are split and red A stranger gives me half a smile Then disappears ahead I bring home bread, you warm the soup We eat without a plan You slide your cold hand over mine And I remember who I am [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Just get through tonight” I say, “Stay here, hold tight” [Chorus] Life is hell, but I’m still here With both feet planted, teeth clenched clear Let the hard days take their toll They don’t get to own my soul Life is hell, but hear me well: I’m not the worst thing that befell [Bridge] No grand rescue, no clean escape Just your sleeve against my face One more morning, one more try One more reason not to say goodbye [Final Chorus] Life is hell, but I’m still here With both feet planted, teeth clenched clear Let the hard days take their toll They don’t get to own my soul Life is hell, but hear me well: I’m not the worst thing that befell [Outro] I’m still here I’m still here
