I still here

I grew up learning how to stay quiet

When nobody asked how I feel

Smiles became my best disguise

Pain was something I concealed

I watched my dreams fade in the distance

Like lights at the end of a train

Everyone moved on so easy

I stayed back, calling their name

Pre-Chorus

They don’t see the nights I survive

When my thoughts don’t let me sleep

I don’t ask for much in this life

Just someone who hears me breathe

Chorus

I’m still here, even when they doubt me

Still standing on my own

I’ve been lost, I’ve been lonely

But I never let go

I don’t shine like the rest of them do

I don’t fit in their plans

But I’m still here, still breathing

Still doing the best that I can
