Still Love You Anyway

Lyrics

Title: “Still Love You Anyway” (Intro – soft, emotional) Yeah… This for you, Mom… Even if you never hear it (Verse 1 – rap) I remember when your voice felt like a safe place Little hands, big dreams, sittin’ in your embrace But the nights got longer, and your eyes changed Love got quiet when the drugs took your name I was waitin’ by the door, hopin’ you’d come home Every missed call made that house feel cold You chose a path I couldn’t understand How a mother let go of her own child’s hand I was young, didn’t know how to process pain Just a little girl standin’ in the rain Ask God why you had to disappear Why your love felt close, then it wasn’t here (Pre-Chorus – R&B) I needed you… when I was small Needed your voice, needed it all But silence grew where you should be Now it’s just memories holdin’ me (Hook – catchy, emotional R&B/rap blend) Where were you when I needed you the most? I was callin’ out your name, you were just a ghost Mama, did you ever feel me break inside? Or was the high too strong to hear me cry? I still love you, I won’t lie Even after all this time Me and sis still holdin’ on Even though you’ve been gone (Chorus – R&B, melodic) I still love you anyway Even through the pain Even when you walked away Left me in the rain I was just a child You were lost in the dark But I still keep your name Written on my heart (Verse 2 – rap) Me and my sister, yeah, we felt the same scars Two broken hearts underneath the same stars We grew up fast, had to learn how to cope Tryna build a life outta pieces and hope No lullabies, no “it’s gon’ be okay” Just empty space where a mom should stay We carried trauma like it’s stitched in our skin Fightin’ battles that we didn’t choose to be in Generational curses run deep in our veins But I swear I’m breakin’ every link in the chain You picked the drugs, yeah, that shattered my soul Made me question if I ever was enough to hold But I’m growin’, I’m changin’, I’m healing slow Turnin’ all this hurt into somethin’ I know (Pre-Chorus – R&B) I needed you… through every tear Needed your love, needed you here But I’m learnin’ how to stand alone Buildin’ strength I’ve never known (Hook – repeat) Where were you when I needed you the most? I was callin’ out your name, you were just a ghost Mama, did you ever feel me break inside? Or was the high too strong to hear me cry? I still love you, I won’t lie Even after all this time Me and sis still holdin’ on Even though you’ve been gone (Chorus – R&B) I still love you anyway Even through the pain Even when you walked away Left me in the rain I was just a child You were lost in the dark But I still keep your name Written on my heart (Bridge – emotional, half-sung/half-spoken) I forgive you… even if it still hurts Even if your absence was my worst curse I won’t let your choices define who I’ll be I’m breakin’ cycles, I’m set free And if you ever find your way back home Just know you were never alone We were waitin’… me and her Two little girls in a broken world (Outro – soft R&B) Yeah, we still love you… No matter what you do… Even through the pain… That love don’t change…
