Still Here Because of You

He woke up every morning breathing borrowed air

Mirrors felt like strangers, like nobody cared

He fought his own shadow in the dead of night

Tried to fade away, tried to lose the fight

Every breath felt like a question

Every step loaded a gun

He was tired of surviving

Just wanted to be done

But then she said my name like it mattered out loud

Held my shaking hands in the middle of the crowd

She didn’t fix the pain, didn’t say it was gone

Just showed me I was needed, gave me reasons to go on

I was standing on the edge, ready to fall through

I’m still here… all because of you

He wore his smile like a stitched-up lie

Said “yea I’m fine” while something inside him died

He thought love was something meant for someone else

Didn’t see the worth, didn’t feel it in himself

But she saw the cracks in the armour he wore

Saw the hurt he tried to hide under his scars

Said, “The world would break without you

If you ever said goodbye”

She said my name like it mattered out loud

Held my shaking hands in the middle of the crowd

She didn’t fix the pain, didn’t say it was gone

Just showed me I was needed, gave me reasons to go on

I was standing on the edge, ready to fall through

I’m still here… all because of you

Now the dark still comes some nights

Yeah, it whispers like before

But I hear her voice inside my head

Saying, “You’re worth fighting for”

She says my life isn’t a burden to bear

That my heart leaves a mark just by being there

I don’t need to disappear to be at peace

I was never weak—I was just unseen

I was losing every battle I ever knew

I’m still here…

I’m still here…

Because of you
