Still Here

Lyrics

[Intro – soft piano] There was a time I thought I knew Every road That led to you But some things hide In ordinary days And sometimes love Has to find another way [Verse 1] We built our life on quiet mornings Children laughing down the hall Pictures hanging on the walls Like nothing ever changed at all But somewhere underneath the silence There were words I couldn’t see Little pieces of a story That were waiting there for me [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know Why you let it carry on I don’t know Why the truth took you so long But I know where we are now [Chorus] Every day I learn to look at you again Every day I try to understand All the years I thought I knew just where we’d been Now I see There were places in between But after everything we’ve been through After everything I know I’m still here You’re still here And maybe that’s What matters most [Verse 2] He was never part of our story Just a shadow much too near Someone standing by the doorway Living somewhere in your fear And I could count a thousand questions I could ask them every night But no answer changes yesterday Or gives those years another life [Pre-Chorus] I can’t change What I didn’t know back then I can’t live Every moment twice again So I choose where we go now [Chorus] Every day I learn to look at you again Every day I try to understand All the years I thought I knew just where we’d been Now I see There were places in between But after everything we’ve been through After everything I know I’m still here You’re still here And maybe that’s What matters most [Bridge – drums enter, rising] I found the words I found the dates The hidden doors The small mistakes I found the things You thought were gone And for a while They proved me wrong But they don’t get To write the end They don’t decide Who we become Because the truth can break a picture Without breaking everyone [Final Chorus – full band] Every day I choose to look at you again Every day A little more than yesterday And all the years We cannot ever live again Will not take The life we’ve made After everything we’ve been through After everything I know I’m still here You’re still here And I won’t let The past decide Where we go [Outro – piano only] Every day A little closer Every day A little more We can’t change What came before us But we know What we’re fighting for Every day… Every day…
