“I Was Still Here”

[Spoken Verse 1)
I didn’t fall apart all at once…
It was quieter than that.
It was…
not answering texts…
letting the dishes pile up…
sitting in the driveway a little too long
before going inside.
I kept telling everyone I was just tired…
but it was more than tired.
It was the kind of ache
you don’t know how to explain
without sounding like you’re going insane

[Pre-Chorus – light melody begins]
But somewhere along the way
there was this feeling I couldn’t shake…
there was a voice inside me saying,
“just hold on one more day…”

[Chorus ]
And I was still here…
even when I felt gone
i was Still breathing
even when my nights felt long
I didn’t have the answers
I didn’t have a clue
But I held on to something…
and I was still here

[Spoken Verse 2 ]
There were mornings
I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror…
it's like i was looking at someone else
who used to know how to smile
without even thinking about it.
And I missed her.
God… I missed her.
But every now and then—
I’d catch a glimpse…
in the way I laughed at something small
or stepped outside and felt the sun…
and for a second…
I thought—
maybe she’s not gone…
maybe she’s just… finding her way back.

[Pre-Chorus ]
Through every broken moment
every tear I tried to hide…
there was something deep within me
that refused to say goodbye…

[Chorus]
And I was still here…
even when I felt gone
Still holding on to hope
when hope felt wrong
I didn’t see the ending
but I stayed right here
through every shattered piece…
I was still here

[Bridge ]
(Spoken)
If you’re barely holding on tonight…
this is me… holding on with you.
You don’t have to be okay…
you just have to stay.
There’s a version of you
you haven’t met yet…
and she’s stronger than you know…

[Final Chorus ]
And you’re still here…
even if it feels wrong
Even if the nights
keep going on
You don’t need the answers
you don’t need it to be clear
Just hold on to something…
‘cause you’re still here

[Outro]
And maybe…
that’s enough for now.
