Still Here

**Verse I**
I trace your name in empty rooms
Like it might answer back
Every memory we never burned
Still hangs inside the cracks

You look so alive without me
Like I was just a phase
I’m frozen in the moment
You learned how to walk away

**Pre-Chorus**
You don’t hear me
You don’t feel me
I’m shouting through the glass

**Chorus**
I’M STILL HERE
WHERE YOU LEFT ME
BREATHING IN THE DUST OF US
YOU MOVED ON
LIKE I NEVER
MEANT THAT MUCH
I’M A SHADOW IN YOUR REARVIEW
A NAME YOU DON’T RECALL
YOU DON’T MISS ME AT ALL

**Verse II**
I see you smiling in new places
Wearing a different life
While I’m counting all the reasons
I didn’t survive goodbye

I replay every second
Wonder where I disappeared
Was I ever really someone
Or just something you outgrew this year?

**Pre-Chorus**
I reach for you
But there’s nothing
Just the echo of who I was

**Chorus**
I’M STILL HERE
WHERE YOU LEFT ME
TRYING NOT TO FALL APART
YOU MOVED ON
LIKE I WAS JUST
A FOOTNOTE IN YOUR HEART
I’M A GHOST IN EVERY MEMORY
YOU SWEAR YOU DON’T HOLD
I’M THE PART OF YOU
YOU FORGOT

**Bridge (Soft → build)**
If I fade completely
Would you even know?
If I stopped breathing
Would it finally show?

I don’t need you to come back
I just need to know
I was real
I was loved
I was more than disposable

**Break (Emotional release)**
SAY MY NAME
JUST ONCE
LIKE IT STILL HURTS

**Final Chorus (Lifted / emotional)**
I’M STILL HERE
NOT INVISIBLE
JUST QUIET IN THE PAIN
YOU MOVED ON
BUT I’M STUCK
WATCHING YOU ESCAPE
IF I’M A GHOST
THEN YOU MADE ME
FROM THE LOVE YOU LET GO
I’LL HAUNT THE SPACES
YOU DON’T NOTICE ANYMORE

**Outro (Soft, defeated)**
I don’t haunt you
I know that now

I just live
Where you forgot
How to love me
