Still here.

“Still Here”

Verse 1

I carried dreams inside my chest

Tiny hopes I loved the best

Then silence came without a sound

And left me searching through the ground

I smiled while my whole world broke

Drowned beneath the words unspoken

Everyone said time would heal

But they never knew how loss could feel

Pre-Chorus

Some nights I swore I’d disappear

Lost in heartbreak, grief, and fear

Chorus

But I’m still here, still breathing

Still standing when the storm was screaming

I’ve worn scars where my wings once grew

And somehow made it through

They took pieces, tried to break me

Left me doubting who would save me

But every tear became a road

Leading me back home

Yeah, I lost myself for years

But I’m still here

Verse 2

There were hands that should’ve never touched

Words that hurt a little too much

A house that never felt like home

Even when I wasn’t alone

I learned to shrink, I learned to hide

To bury every part inside

Until my reflection looked like someone new

And I forgot what I was meant to do

Pre-Chorus

But somewhere underneath the pain

A voice kept calling out my name

Chorus

And I’m still here, still breathing

Still standing when the storm was screaming

I’ve worn scars where my wings once grew

And somehow made it through

They took pieces, tried to break me

Left me doubting who would save me

But every tear became a road

Leading me back home

Yeah, I lost myself for years

But I’m still here

Bridge

When my smile changed, I feared the mirror

Thought the world would see me different

But strength isn’t found in perfect skin

It’s in surviving what you’ve been in

The woman staring back at me

Finally looks a little free

Not who I was, not who they made me

But who I chose to be

Final Chorus

I’m still here, still rising

Found my light where hope was hiding

Every chapter, every scar

Made me into who I are

For the babies that I never held

For the stories I survived to tell

For the girl who almost disappeared

I’m singing loud enough to hear

I lost myself along the way

But I found her every day

And though the road was hard and long

I’m still here…

And finally strong.
