I’m Still Here

Verse 1

I wake up tired of holding my breath,

Like every step’s another test.

I wear a smile I don’t believe,

Try to be strong, but I’m barely me.

The noise in my head won’t let me sleep,

Every promise feels too deep to keep.

Pre-Chorus

I’m losing ground inside my skin,

This fight feels harder than giving in.

Chorus

I’m buried under the weight of me,

Every fear pulling endlessly.

I try to move, but I just stay still,

Trapped between what I am and what I feel.

If I let go, will I finally breathe?

Or will I disappear underneath?

Verse 2

I count the cracks in the ceiling above,

Wonder when enough is enough.

I’ve built my walls out of shame and doubt,

Now I don’t know how to tear them down.

Everyone says “you’ll be okay,”

But they don’t hear what my demons say.

Pre-Chorus

I’m standing on the edge again,

Asking myself how long this ends.

Chorus

I’m buried under the weight of me,

Every thought screaming violently.

I reach for help, but my hands shake,

I’m scared of the choices I have to make.

If I fall apart, will someone see?

Or am I alone underneath?

Bridge (Half-Time / Atmospheric)

I don’t want to be numb anymore,

I don’t want to fight myself at war.

If this pain is part of the cost,

I just don’t want to be lost.

(Optional screamed backing vocal)

I’M STILL HERE—DON’T LET ME GO

Final Chorus (Big / Emotional Peak)

I’m buried under the weight of me,

But I’m still breathing underneath.

I won’t pretend that I’m okay,

But I’m still standing here today.

If I break, I break honestly,

This is the truth inside of me.

Outro (Stripped / Echo)

I’m still here…

Even under the weight.
