[Verse 1]
I left my shoes by the door
Like I might come back for more
But the room kept getting smaller
And I kept getting quieter
Phone face down on the table
Your last text, still readable
I can hear my own footsteps
In a house that feels disabled
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where the light went
Tell me why I freeze
I’ve been holding my breath here
Till it hurts to speak
[Chorus]
I’m still here
I’m still here
Even when I don’t feel real
I’m still here
I’m still here
With the cracks you never see
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
I’m not as gone as I seem
[Verse 2]
I smile like it costs nothing
Then I pay for it later
In the car park, hands shaking
Trying hard to look greater
Everybody says “you’re fine”
Like a bandage over fire
But the truth keeps coming back hard
When I’m alone, in the wire
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where the light went
Tell me why I fold
I’ve been locking it all in
Till it turns me cold
[Chorus]
I’m still here
I’m still here
Even when I don’t feel real
I’m still here
I’m still here
With the cracks you never see
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
I’m not as gone as I seem
[Bridge]
If I break, let me break loud
If I fall, don’t look away
I am more than this bad hour
More than what I failed to say
[Breakdown]
Say my name
Say it slow
I am bruised
I am not gone
Say my name
Let me know
I can crawl
Back to hope
[Final Chorus]
I’m still here
I’m still here
Even when I don’t feel real
I’m still here
I’m still here
With the cracks you never see
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
I’m not as gone as I seem
I’m still here
I’m still here
And I’m learning how to breathe
