Still Here

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah… After midnight, everything gets quiet, But my mind gets louder when I’m trying to fight it. [Verse 1] I got memories playing like a song on repeat, Old conversations that I wish I could delete. Everybody asks me, “Why you looking so tired?” I just shrug my shoulders, say, “I’m good,” and get quiet. I gave people trust, they gave reasons to doubt, Had a lot on my mind that I never let out. Now I keep my circle small, keep my feelings inside, But I miss the old days when I smiled without trying to hide. [Pre-Chorus] If you ask me how I’m doing, I might give you the line, But the truth sits heavy when I’m alone with my mind. I don’t need a rescue, I just need somewhere safe, A little room to breathe before I lose my shape. [Chorus] I’m still here, even when I disappear, Carrying the weight that I don’t let you hear. If I go quiet, don’t take it as goodbye, I’m just learning how to stay on my side. I’m still here, trying to make it through, Finding one small reason to come back to you. [Verse 2] There’s a coffee cup cooling beside my bed, A dozen unsent messages living in my head. I read old names, then I turn the phone face down, Some doors look better when they stay closed now. I used to chase approval till I ran out of air, Smile for the room while I vanished somewhere. Now I’m counting small wins like coins in my hand, Making peace with the parts I don’t yet understand. [Pre-Chorus] If you ask me how I’m doing, I might give you the line, But the truth sits heavy when I’m alone with my mind. I don’t need a rescue, I just need somewhere safe, A little room to breathe before I lose my shape. [Chorus] I’m still here, even when I disappear, Carrying the weight that I don’t let you hear. If I go quiet, don’t take it as goodbye, I’m just learning how to stay on my side. I’m still here, trying to make it through, Finding one small reason to come back to you. [Bridge] Maybe healing isn’t loud or clean, Maybe it’s choosing not to leave. One more morning, one more try, One honest breath before I close my eyes. [Final Chorus] I’m still here, even when I disappear, Carrying the weight that I don’t let you hear. If I go quiet, don’t take it as goodbye, I’m just learning how to stay on my side. I’m still here, and that has to count, Even with the doubt I can’t fully drown. I’m still here, finding my way through, Keeping one small reason to come back to you. [Outro] After midnight, everything gets quiet, But tonight my mind is learning not to fight it.
