Verse 1
To everyone I love, I’ve been fading in the quiet
Carrying a weight I never learned how to fight with
Smiling on the surface, breaking underneath
Telling all the world I’m fine, while I’m losing me
I’ve worn the words “unworthy” like they’re stitched into my skin
Every doubt, every shadow pulling me back in
I stayed silent for so long, I forgot how to feel
What’s broken in the dark doesn’t always heal
Pre-Chorus
And I know I’ve made mistakes I can’t outrun
Left pieces of your heart undone
Chorus
But I’m still here in the silence, breathing through the pain
Standing in the wreckage of the mess I made
I don’t feel like I deserve another chance to try
But something in me’s holding on tonight
Yeah I’m still here, though I don’t know why
Still here, with these tears I hide
If there’s a light beyond this storm inside my head
I’ll stay… I’ll stay… I’m not gone yet
Verse 2
I see the hurt I caused like a mirror every day
A beautiful soul I shattered, I can’t take that away
I lied, I broke, I fell into the dark
Let my demons write their story on my heart
I let the worst of me take control of everything
Didn’t even notice what the damage would bring
Now I’m standing in the aftermath of who I became
And I don’t recognise my own name
Pre-Chorus
But leaving won’t erase what I’ve done
And healing doesn’t start by running
Chorus
So I’m still here in the silence, breathing through the pain
Standing in the wreckage of the mess I made
I don’t feel like I deserve another chance to try
But something in me’s holding on tonight
Yeah I’m still here, though I don’t know why
Still here, with these tears I hide
If there’s a light beyond this storm inside my head
I’ll stay… I’ll stay… I’m not gone yet
Bridge
Maybe I’m not finished, maybe this is where I bend
Not the end of everything, just a breaking I can mend
If I face the truth instead of turning into dust
Maybe I can learn to forgive… maybe learn to trust
Final Chorus
I’m still here in the silence, learning how to breathe
Learning I’m not only what I’ve done or been
I don’t feel like I deserve it, but I’m asking for the chance
To stay… to change… to take a stand
Yeah I’m still here, and that has to mean
There’s more to me than what I’ve seen
And if there’s love beyond this war inside my head
I’ll stay… I’ll stay… I’m not gone yet
