I’m still here

Verse 1

The room is quiet, louder than before

Your silence echoes through every door

I’m sitting here, holding my breath

Trying to survive what we have left

I don’t scream, I don’t cry out loud

I learned to hurt without a sound

I fought so long, I’m tired inside

I don’t have the strength to try again tonight

Pre-Chorus

I don’t want war, I don’t want pain

I just want to feel your heart again

Chorus

I don’t want to fight anymore

I’ve been knocking on a closed door

There’s someone else who sees my face

Who asks me how I’m doing, who gives me space

And I don’t know what’s right or wrong

When being strong feels like holding on too long

I never wanted to be torn in two

But I can’t keep living invisible to you

Verse 2

You’re here, but you don’t look at me

Like I’m something you still need

I’m fading slow between your days

A shadow love that slipped away

He listens when I start to break

Says my name like it still has weight

And I hate myself for feeling seen

When all I wanted was you with me

Pre-Chorus

I don’t want escape, I don’t want lies

I just want a reason to stay alive

Chorus

I don’t want to fight anymore

I’ve been begging in my core

There’s someone else who holds the light

When I’m drowning every night

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do

When staying hurts and leaving does too

I’m not unfaithful, I’m just so tired

Of feeling unwanted, broken, and quiet

Bridge (nur Klavier, Violine setzt langsam ein)

If you reached for me now

I would drop everything

If you said my name

Like I still mean something

I don’t want another life

I just don’t want this one anymore

Last Chorus

I don’t want to fight anymore

I’m empty from this endless war

There’s a hand that pulls me from the floor

And I don’t know what my heart is for

I’m standing here, afraid to choose

Afraid of staying, afraid of losing you

I don’t want to hurt, I don’t want to fall

I just don’t want to feel nothing at all

Outro

(Violine allein)

I’m still here…

I just need someone to see me.
