Verse 1

I wake up tired of fighting my own mind

Mirror shows a face I don’t recognize

Days feel loud but I’m screaming inside

Smiling for the world, barely staying alive

I carry ghosts that nobody sees

Heavy as the air when I try to breathe

They say “it gets better,” I nod like I agree

But hope feels far from someone like me

Pre-Chorus

I’ve learned how to hide in plain sight

Learned how to say “I’m fine” just right

But every night when the lights go low

That’s when the truth starts to show

Chorus

I’m still here, even when it hurts

Still breathing through the worst

Some days I bend, some days I break

But I’m alive for my own sake

I don’t know when the pain will end

But I’m choosing to stay again

Yeah, I’m still here

And right now, that’s enough

Verse 2

There’s a war in my chest I don’t talk about

Every quiet moment fills me with doubt

I replay words I should’ve said

And conversations stuck in my head

I’ve lost time to the dark inside

Watched the best parts of me go hide

But something small still holds the line

A fragile voice that says “survive”

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need fixing tonight

I just need someone to sit through the fight

No silver lining, no perfect plan

Just a hand that understands

Chorus

I’m still here, even when it hurts

Still breathing through the worst

Some days I bend, some days I break

But I’m alive for my own sake

I don’t know when the pain will end

But I’m choosing to stay again

Yeah, I’m still here

And right now, that’s enough

Bridge

Maybe healing isn’t feeling okay

Maybe it’s choosing tomorrow anyway

Maybe strength is staying when you’re tired of being strong

Maybe surviving is how you move on

If I fall, I’ll rise slow

If I crawl, I’ll still go

I don’t need to see the light

Just believe it’s there tonight

Final Chorus

I’m still here, scars and all

I’ve survived every fall

I may not shine, I may not glow

But I’m learning how to grow

And if this song is all I’ve got

I’ll sing it from my broken heart

Yeah, I’m still here

And someday… I’ll be more than okay
