Still Here

Still Here

VAYNE

Lyrics

[Intro — whispered]

Some nights I don’t want saving.

I just want the noise to stop.

But then I see your faces…

And remember why I’m still here.

[Verse 1]

I wake up with a war inside my chest,

Another morning wishing I’d disappear.

Wear a smile like armor over everything,

So nobody can see what’s happening in here.

There’s a voice inside my head that says,

“You’ve carried enough—just let it end.”

But every time the darkness pulls me under,

I think about the ones I’d leave instead.

I know this pain.

I know its name.

I know how it destroys you from within.

So if I have to drag myself through hell,

I’ll crawl until I see the light again.

[Chorus — huge cleans]

I’M STILL HERE!

Even when I don’t want to be,

Holding onto every reason

This darkness can’t take from me.

If I have to break

So you never know this pain,

I’ll fight through another night,

And another fucking day.

I may not know how to save myself,

But one thing I know is true:

I’LL KEEP FIGHTING THIS WAR

SO IT NEVER GETS TO YOU.

[Verse 2]

I’m tired of hearing that I’m strong.

I’m tired of pretending nothing’s wrong.

Sometimes strength is nothing beautiful—

It’s shaking in the darkness

And somehow holding on.

There are nights I beg for silence,

Just one second without this weight.

But I refuse to make the ones I love

Carry the pain I couldn’t escape.

So I’ll scream until my lungs give out.

I’ll turn every scar into a sound.

If somebody drowning hears these words,

I need them to know they’re not alone now.

[Breakdown — screamed]

DEATH KEEPS KNOCKING—

I KEEP ANSWERING WITH WAR.

YOU WANT MY LIFE?

YOU DON’T GET IT ANYMORE.

I’VE BEEN ON MY KNEES,

BEGGING FOR THE END—

BUT I’M GETTING BACK UP

AGAIN.

AND AGAIN.

AND AGAIN.

THIS DARKNESS DOESN’T GET MY NAME.

IT DOESN’T GET MY FAMILY.

IT DOESN’T GET MY LOVE.

IT DOESN’T GET TO FUCKING STAY.

[Bridge — emotional cleans]

Maybe someday I’ll want tomorrow

For more than everybody else.

Maybe someday staying alive

Won’t feel like fighting with myself.

Until that day comes,

I’ll borrow every reason that I can:

Your laugh.

Your voice.

Your love.

Your hand.

Maybe somewhere in surviving

I’ll finally understand—

I wasn’t only staying here for you.

I was worth staying for, too.

[Final Chorus]

I’M STILL HERE!

Even when I barely breathe.

There’s a grave inside my mind,

But it will never bury me.

If I have to crawl through hell,

If I have to scream through pain,

I’ll keep choosing one more heartbeat,

One more sunrise,

One more day.

[Final Breakdown]

I WANTED TO DIE—

BUT I CHOSE TO FIGHT.

I WANTED THE END—

BUT I SURVIVED THE NIGHT.

FOR EVERYONE I LOVE,

AND THE MAN I’M TRYING TO BE—

THIS DARKNESS

DOES NOT

GET

TO HAVE ME.

[Outro]

Tomorrow might still hurt.

But tomorrow…

I’ll still be here.
