Still

Lyrics

STILL HERE [Verse 1] You thought the silence meant I’d disappear You packed your promises and left them here I wore the damage like a diamond dress And learned that losing you was not a loss, I guess You had your moment, baby, take your bow I was a fool then, but you should see me now You closed the door like it was some grand end Funny how endings have a way of making legends [Pre-Chorus] I cried enough I died enough I gave you every little piece of love But look at me I’m standing up And darling, I am not the one who lost [Chorus] I’m still here Still shining through the smoke and mirrors Still here And everything I want is getting clearer You can break my heart You can waste my years You can leave me dancing with my tears But I’m still here Oh baby, I’m still here [Verse 2] I changed my number, changed my point of view Changed half the things you said I couldn’t do A little older, maybe more expensive too But every part of me looks better without you I heard you’re telling people I’m alone That’s such a charming little lie you’ve grown I don’t need saving, I don’t need revenge I just need music loud enough to make you irrelevant [Pre-Chorus] I cried enough I died enough I gave you every little piece of love But look at me I’m standing up And darling, I am not the one who lost [Chorus] I’m still here Still shining through the smoke and mirrors Still here And everything I want is getting clearer You can break my heart You can waste my years You can leave me dancing with my tears But I’m still here Oh baby, I’m still here [Post-Chorus] Still here Still here You thought I’d fade away Still here Still here I only changed the stage [Bridge] There was a time I would have begged you There was a time I couldn’t breathe There was a time I thought forever Was something you could give to me Now forever is the mirror And the woman looking back She survived every goodbye And she looks damn good in black [Final Chorus] I’m still here Still shining through the smoke and mirrors Still here And every broken piece became much clearer You can break my heart You can waste my years You can leave me dancing with my tears But I’m still here Stronger every year I’m still here Still louder than the voice that said I’d disappear Still here Oh baby— I’m still here [Outro] You thought goodbye would be the end Baby… It was my entrance.
