[Verse 1]
Some days the world leans sideways,
and I don’t know why it does.
My body drops its lines again,
forgets what steady was.
There’s a backstage kind of breaking,
while the world plays on unfazed—
I’m here behind the curtain,
trying to make it through the haze.
[Pre-Chorus]
And the guilt walks in so softly,
asking what I’ve failed today…
I try to keep from sinking,
but it’s hard to find my place.
[Chorus]
But I’m still here,
even when I’m tired to the bone.
Still trying to be
the one you’ve always known.
Some days I fade,
some days I barely stand—
but I’m still fighting
to be the one you love,
as best I can.
[Verse 2]
My kids wait for a brighter me,
the one with time to chase.
I measure out my footsteps
like a runner losing pace.
My wife holds out her patience—
that kind I don’t deserve—
and I wish I had the strength right now
to match the love she serves.
[Pre-Chorus]
And my friends just get the ghost of me,
the plans I can’t keep straight…
I hope they know I’m trying,
even on my quiet days.
[Chorus]
But I’m still here,
even when I’m tired to the bone.
Still trying to be
the one you’ve always known.
Some days I fade,
some days I barely stand—
but I’m still fighting
to be the one you love,
as best I can.
[Bridge]
Maybe one day the world won’t tilt,
and my feet will find the ground.
Maybe I’ll stop apologizing
for the days I’m not around.
But until that brighter morning,
just know I’m holding on—
your love keeps pulling me forward
when my strength is almost gone.
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m still here,
even when I’m tired to the bone.
Still trying to be
the one you’ve always known.
Some days I fade,
some days I barely stand—
but I’m still fighting
to be the one you love,
as best I can.

As best I can.
