(Verse 1 – low, restrained)
I’ve been walking through the same streets
Trying to outrun my mind
Every memory’s a replay
Of a life I left behind
I gave everything I had to
Something I couldn’t keep
Now I’m stuck inside the silence
With the ghosts that never leave
⸻
(Pre-Chorus – build)
And I don’t know where I lost it
Or when it slipped away
We were holding onto nothing
But we stayed
⸻
(Chorus – big, emotional)
I’m halfway gone, but I’m still here
Still feeling everything I fear
You were the part I couldn’t replace
Now I’m just learning to face
Who I am without you
What I’m supposed to be
I’m not giving up, even when
It’s killing me
⸻
(Verse 2 – more intensity)
You were chasing something louder
I was trying to slow it down
We were standing in the same room
But we’re living different lives now
You gave up more than I saw then
I was blind inside the fight
Now I see it in the distance
When I’m lying here at night
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
And I hate that I still feel it
Like it never really left
Like I’m breathing in the memory
Of your breath
⸻
(Chorus – bigger)
I’m halfway gone, but I’m still here
Still holding onto what disappeared
You were the part I couldn’t replace
Now I’m just learning to face
Who I am without you
What I’m supposed to be
I’m not giving up, even when
It’s killing me
⸻
(Bridge – stripped / spoken → scream build)
Some days I feel like I’m nothing
Some days I feel okay
I don’t know what I’m becoming
But I won’t fade away
I see it in my children
And I swear I’ll stay strong
Even when I don’t know
If I belong
(scream layer)
I WON’T LET THIS BE THE END OF ME
⸻
(Final Chorus – full energy)
I’m halfway gone, but I’m still here
Still fighting through another year
You were the part I couldn’t replace
But I won’t let it erase
Who I am without you
Who I’m trying to be
I’m not giving up, even when
It’s killing me
⸻
(Outro – fade)
Halfway gone…
Still here…
