Still here

Verse 1

We talk like nothing’s changed at all,
Same old jokes, same late-night texts.
Easy laughter, steady ground,
Everything safe, no second guess.

You say my name like it’s a fact,
Like I’ll always have your back.
And I do.
I always do.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Somewhere along the way
Something in me shifted.

⸻

Chorus

I’m grateful we’re like this.
Grateful where we stand.
Grateful I get to be
Your safest friend.

But there’s a quiet underneath
I never let you see.
You don’t feel the same —
And that’s the part that breaks me.

Still…
I’m still here.

⸻

Verse 2

You talk about someone new,
I listen like I always do.
Say it sounds right, say it sounds good —
Mean it more than I thought I could.

Nothing dramatic, nothing loud,
Just the ache beneath the proud.
I won’t let it change my tone —
I’d rather hurt than lose our home.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

You don’t see what I don’t show.
And I won’t let you know.

⸻

Chorus

I’m grateful we’re like this.
Grateful you feel safe.
Grateful I’m the one you call
At the end of every day.

You don’t look at me that way.
You never have. I know.
And holding this quietly
Is something I chose.

Still…
I’m still here.

⸻

Bridge (Breaking Point)

I know we cannot be.
Not in the way my heart leans toward you.
Not in the quiet moments
I almost say it out loud.

I know the line is clear and drawn.
I won’t step across it.
I won’t trade what we have
For something you don’t feel.

But sometimes —

I wish things could be different.
I wish you felt the same.

And if I let myself be honest…

I will love you always.

⸻

Final Tag (Soft, Wry Acceptance)

So don’t worry —
I’ll still show up.

I’ll still roll my eyes
At your terrible jokes.

I’ll still sit beside you
Like nothing’s changed.

And when you need a  milkshakes  —

Don’t worry.

I’ll be the one
That will always gets them.
