Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I fold my shirt too neat

Like someone might stay

Two mugs on the counter

But only mine today

I laugh with my friends

Then I drive home slow

And the silence in the hall

Already knows

[Pre-Chorus]

I keep my light on low

Like a sign for you

But the door stays still

And the night falls through

I want to be enough

In the shape I am

Still I stand alone

With an open hand

[Chorus]

I’m here

I’m still here

I’m loving in the dark

I’m still here

With a lonely little heart

(Still here)

I want you close

Somebody safe to fall

I’m still here

But I’m lonely after all

[Verse 2]

At the bar, I smile

When they say my name

I spot another boy

And feel the same old flame

He reaches for my hand

Then he looks away

Like we both know this ache

Can ruin a day

[Pre-Chorus]

So I breathe it in

Let it cut, let it sting

There’s a place in me

That still wants everything

If love is a door

I’ve been knocking loud

But I’ll keep my voice

I won’t back down

[Chorus]

I’m here

I’m still here

I’m loving in the dark

I’m still here

With a lonely little heart

(Still here)

I want you close

Somebody safe to fall

I’m still here

But I’m lonely after all

[Bridge]

Maybe I was made

For a slower kind of rain

For a hand that finds me

Even after all this pain

If you come my way

Let me know by name

I’ll be waiting on the edge

Of my own brave shame

[Final Chorus]

I’m here

I’m still here

I’m loving in the dark

I’m still here

With a lonely little heart

(Still here)

I want you close

Somebody safe to fall

I’m still here

And I won’t hide at all
