Still here anyway

I see your smile like sunrise light,

And every time, it cuts me right.

You say you care but not that way,

Still, I stay, I stay anyway.

You don’t owe me your heart, I know,

But mine won't listen, won’t let go.

You speak of “friends,” like that’s enough,

But I’m drowning in quiet love.

You’ll never feel the way I do,

I bleed in silence next to you.

You’re reaching out with empty hands,

I’m holding on to sinking sand.

And I don’t know how to walk away—

But I’m still here… still here anyway.

I wish I could unlove your eyes,

Erase the stars you put in mine.

But every word, and every laugh,

Pulls me deeper down this path.

You don't lie, you don't pretend,

But this ache just doesn't end.

You smile, and I fall again,

Writing love on pages you won’t send.

You’ll never feel the way I do,

I bleed in silence next to you.

You’re reaching out with empty hands,

I’m holding on to sinking sand.

And I don’t know how to walk away—

But I’m still here… still here anyway.

I could fake a smile, I could play a role,

But you're the half that still makes me whole.

So I stay near, though it breaks me more,

Loving someone who’s closed the door.

You’ll never feel the way I do,

But I’ll keep on loving you.

Even if you never see me that way—

I’m still here… still here anyway.

I’m still here...

Even when there’s nothing left to say.

Still here anyway.
