Verse 1
Some mornings I lie frozen,
staring at the ceiling cracks.
Life keeps pulling at my heartbeat
but I don’t know how to pull it back.
The house is full of motion,
their voices blur into the air
And I’m standing in my own life
like I’m barely even there.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t want to scare the people who love me,
don’t want to make them feel afraid
But I’m tired of being the quiet one
who’s breaking in the shade.
Chorus
And it feels like if I drifted,
if I slipped out of sight,
the world would keep on spinning
like it’s always done each night.
I’m not saying I’m leaving
I just hurt more than they hear.
I just need someone to notice
why I’m still here
still here.
Verse 2
I walk the halls like echoes
in a place that once felt warm.
I’m trying hard to carry
every storm inside my bones.
They never see the trembling,
they never see the cost
The way the light keeps dimming
when I think of what I’ve lost.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t want to vanish quietly,
don’t want to fade without a sound
I just need to know that someone
would feel the emptiness around.
Chorus
‘Cause it feels like if I drifted,
if I slipped out of sight,
the world would keep on spinning
like it’s always done each night.
I’m not saying I’m leaving
just confessing what I fear:
that nothing really changes
if I’m not here
not here.
Bridge
But a part of me is fighting,
even when the dark gets loud
A part that wants to breathe again,
to rise above the cloud.
If someone reached to hold me,
if someone called my name
Maybe I could anchor
to something that remains.
Chorus
So I’m whispering this softly,
hoping someone finally hears:
I don’t want to disappear
I just need help through the tears.
I’m not asking for salvation,
just to know I still belong
I’m still here for a reason,
even when I feel so wrong.
Still here…
Still here.
