[Verse 1]
I know your steps by the stair
Your blue coat in the rain
You laugh like you own the room
I learn it all the same
She takes your hand so easy
Like it was always hers
I stand where the glass turns dark
And let my heart rehearse
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my distance
I keep my name
I keep my smile
Like a paper flame
One little glance
And I’m not okay
I fold in the dark
Then look away
[Chorus]
I’m still here, still here
At the edge of your world
I’m still here, still here
With my quiet little hurt
You love her, you love her
I know what that means
I’m only a shadow
In your in-between
[Verse 2]
Your hand on her shoulder
My chest like a bruise
I count the window squares
When you choose who to choose
I don’t knock on the door
I don’t call out your name
I just keep finding the path
Back to that same warm frame
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my distance
I keep my name
I keep my smile
Like a paper flame
One little glance
And I’m not okay
I fold in the dark
Then look away
[Chorus]
I’m still here, still here
At the edge of your world
I’m still here, still here
With my quiet little hurt
You love her, you love her
I know what that means
I’m only a shadow
In your in-between
[Bridge]
If I had one wish
It would break me clean
Let me lose your face
Like a bad dream
But your voice comes back
Soft through the hall
And I hate that I
Still want it all
[Final Chorus]
I’m still here, still here
At the edge of your world
I’m still here, still here
With my quiet little hurt
You love her, you love her
I know what that means
I’m only a shadow
In your in-between
I’m still here, still here
Even when you don’t see
I’m still here, still here
And that’s the end of me
