Midnight talking in my head again
Static on the walls, can’t tell when
Every thought feels like a warning sign
Running in circles just to kill the time
Shadows stretching on the bedroom floor
I swear I’ve been here all before
Holding breath like it’s the only way
To keep the worst thoughts locked away
⸻
Pre-Chorus
(heartbeat build, melody rising each line)
The light is sinking
Eyes full of fear
My heart is beating
Life’s drawing near
I just keep thinking of what I hold dear
Should I start believing or end it all right here
⸻
Chorus
(melody opens, emotional release)
I’m still here, even when I’m breaking inside
Still breathing, even when I’m out of time
If the dark is screaming my name tonight
I won’t let it take me
I’ll stay alive
⸻
Verse 2
Mirror tells me things I don’t believe
Says I’m stronger than I ever see
Every scar got a story it keeps
Proof I bend, but I don’t retreat
Counting seconds like they’re slipping fast
Past and future crashing back to back
If this moment’s all I really own
I won’t face it alone
⸻
Pre-Chorus
The light is sinking
Eyes full of fear
My heart is beating
Life’s drawing near
I just keep thinking of what I hold dear
Should I start believing or end it all right here
⸻
Chorus
I’m still here, even when I’m breaking inside
Still breathing, even when I’m out of time
If the dark is screaming my name tonight
I won’t let it take me
I’ll stay alive
⸻
Bridge
(stripped back, quiet)
Maybe hope isn’t loud
Maybe it’s quiet somehow
Just a pulse in my chest
Saying “don’t give up yet”
I don’t need all the answers now
I just need to stay somehow
⸻
Final Chorus
(bigger, layered harmonies)
I’m still here, hear my heart collide
With every fear I survived
If this is the edge, I won’t say goodbye
I won’t let it end me
I’ll stay alive
⸻
Outro
Right here…
I’m still here
