I was mad in love,
Thought I had it all,
Held the key to my world,
Thought I’d never fall.
I gave you my heart,
Gave you everything I had,
Never thought I’d lose it all,
Never thought I’d end up this bad.
I learned young to hide the pain,
Smile through fire, dance through rain.
Every time the walls came down,
I found a way to stand my ground.
But what happens when the ground gives way?
What happens when there’s nothing left to save?
When everything you built disappears,
Do you run from the ashes,
Or stay right here?
And I’m still here,
Still here,
After everything I’ve lost.
Still here,
Still here,
Even when I thought I was gone.
I lost the future I could see,
Lost the person I thought I’d be.
Lost the little things that made me believe,
And somewhere in between,
I almost lost me.
I’ve been angry, I’ve been numb,
I’ve been scared of what I’ve become.
I’ve stared at the dark and called it home,
Told myself that I was better alone.
But there’s a voice beneath the noise,
A little piece I can’t destroy.
Not the boy who learned to suffer,
Not the man who never cries—
Just someone who’s been broken
And still refuses to die.
And I’m still here,
Still here,
After everything I’ve lost.
Still here,
Still here,
Even when I thought I’d stopped.
Maybe someday I’ll understand
Why I had to lose what I couldn’t hold.
Maybe someday these shaking hands
Won’t feel like they’re carrying the world.
Maybe I’ll wake up somewhere new,
And finally recognize the view.
Maybe I’ll find a reason to stay
That doesn’t disappear the next day.
But I don’t need to know tonight.
The ashes settle.
The noise fades out.
The room gets quiet.
And I’m still around.
One more breath.
One more night.
One more morning
I haven’t seen yet.
Still here…
Still here…
I don’t know what’s waiting.
I don’t know what comes next.
But I’m still here.
Still breathing.
Still standing.
Still…
here.
