Am I Still Here

(Soft, distant intro – low piano)

Am I still here…

Or have I faded out of view…

Verse 1

I just wanted someone I could talk to,

Someone I could hold at night.

I only wanted to be someone’s priority,

But I’m left waiting… every time.

I’ve been left once again, staring at my phone,

Watching seconds turn into hours alone.

When I see your name light up my screen,

It’s all hands on deck, I drop everything.

But now I’m waiting…

Still waiting…

For you to answer me.

Chorus

Am I still here, or am I invisible?

Am I someone you need, or just convenient to use?

I give you my time, my heart, my truth,

But I’m drowning in silence, waiting on you.

Am I still here…

Or already gone to you?

Verse 2

I just wanted someone to hold,

Someone I could kiss.

Somebody I could be happy with,

Not another promise I’d miss.

The empty feeling in my chest keeps growing,

A hollow ache I can’t outrun.

I don’t know how long I can survive

Without knowing what love feels like…

Not even once.

Pre-Chorus

It’s not just flesh, it’s deeper than skin,

It’s something that pulls you in from within.

A feeling of joy, like a treasured Toy once lost but now is found, no matter the cost.

Chorus

Am I still here, or am I disposable?

Am I a voice you hear, or background noise to you?

I give you everything, get nothing in return,

Just an empty space where my heart should burn.

Am I still here…

Or just something you use?

Bridge (spoken or screamed softly)

I don’t know how many more years I can go,

Knowing people only need me when they’re low.

They take what they want, then leave me dry,

And I’m left alone asking myself why.

It hurts so much…

But I don’t feel the pain.

They tell me wipe it away,

Put on a smile, pretend I’m okay.

They can’t see me like this…

If only they knew what I was going through.

Breakdown (dark, minimal, heavy atmosphere)

I scream in silence.

I bleed in my head.

I’m breaking apart

But I’m told I’m fine instead.

Final Chorus (full emotion)

Am I still here, or am I already dead?

Just a name you remember when you need something said.

I’m tired of giving, tired of waiting for proof,

That I matter to someone… that any of this is true.

Am I still here…

Or was I never enough?

Outro (slow fade)

Am I still here…

Or did I disappear…

While waiting for you?
