After The Storm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I knew your shadow first Before I knew your name The room went cold that night And nothing felt the same I kept my hands to myself Just trying to survive Now every beat I own Is proof I’m still alive [Pre-Chorus] You took a moment I took it back Step by step I came off that track [Chorus] I’m still here I’m still here Hear me clear I’m still here You don’t own my story You don’t own my fear I’m still here I’m still here [Verse 2] There were days I couldn’t speak Nights I couldn’t sleep But I learned how to name The hurt you tried to keep I found my voice in pieces Then I found it whole What you tried to bury Couldn’t take my soul [Pre-Chorus] You took a moment I took it back Step by step I came off that track [Chorus] I’m still here I’m still here Hear me clear I’m still here You don’t own my story You don’t own my fear I’m still here I’m still here [Bridge] Let the old pain fall Let the hard truth show I was not made small Just because you tried to I’m not your silence I’m not your shame I’m the hand on the door I’m the one who names [Chorus] I’m still here I’m still here Hear me clear I’m still here You don’t own my story You don’t own my fear I’m still here I’m still here
