[Intro]
Hey listener, Lupeh here
If the dark got loud tonight
Stay with me through this one
[Verse 1]
Some nights the dark gets louder
Than the room I’m standing in
Starts talking like it knows me
Like it’s somewhere underneath my skin
And the people that I trusted
Look at me like I chose this pain
Like I wake up every morning
Trying to drown out my own name
They don’t see the weight I carry
They don’t feel the war inside
They just see the missed steps piling
Never hear the reasons why
And it cuts a little deeper
When the ones you love don’t know
How hard it is to keep on breathing
When your own mind says let go
[Chorus]
But I’m still here
Even when the dark gets loud
Still here
Even when it drags me down
If you’re holding on by threads tonight
I know what that feels like too
So don’t let go
Stay with me
I’m trying to stay here too
Hey listener, if you’re hurting
If your light feels small and used
You are not weak for shaking
You are not wrong for being bruised
If nobody else can feel it
That don’t make your pain untrue
So don’t let go tonight
Stay with me
I’m still holding too
[Verse 2]
I know what it’s like to hide it
Cause explaining takes too much
When your chest feels full of static
And every day feels cold to touch
When the ones who should believe you
Write your hurt off as a phase
Like you’re making up the struggle
Just because they feel okay
But I know pain can be invisible
I know silence can still scream
I know trust can turn to distance
When nobody sees what you mean
So if you’re somewhere in the wreckage
Feeling too tired to push through
Hear me now — you don’t have to do this alone
I’m still standing with you
[Bridge]
I’m not saying it’s easy
I’m not saying I’m cured
I’m just saying if you’re breathing
Then there’s still something worth fighting for
Even if all you do tonight
Is make it to the morning light
That is still a win
That is still you surviving one more night
[Final Chorus]
I’m still here
Even when the dark gets loud
Still here
Even when it drags me down
If you’re holding on by threads tonight
I know what that feels like too
So don’t let go
Stay with me
I’m trying to stay here too
Hey listener, if you’re hurting
If your light feels small and used
You are not weak for shaking
You are not wrong for being bruised
If nobody else can feel it
That don’t make your pain untrue
So don’t let go tonight
Stay with me
I’m still holding too
