[Intro] Yeah… Uh… Late nights, staring at the ceiling, Trying to understand this feeling. Everybody says, “You’ll be okay,” But they don't hear what I don't say. [Verse 1] Why am I still here? I don't even know, Smiling for the world while I'm breaking below. I say, “I'm fine,” but my voice sounds weak, Got a thousand different thoughts that I never speak. I walk through the hallway with a smile on my face, But inside of my head, I'm just trying to find space. Everybody sees me, but nobody knows, How much I hide underneath these clothes. I keep asking questions that don't have answers, Trying to outrun all these shadows and disasters. Maybe tomorrow I'll finally feel clear, But tonight I'm still asking, “Why am I still here?” [Chorus] Why am I still here? Why does it hurt like this? Why do I hide every tear Behind a fake little smile like this? I say, “I'm okay,” But that's not what I mean. I'm fighting every day Just to feel something again. Why am I still here? Maybe there's something I can't see. Maybe this pain ain't forever, Maybe there's more waiting for me. [Verse 2] I've been feeling so lost, like I'm stuck in the rain, Carrying a heart that's exhausted from pain. People tell me, “Be strong,” like it's easy to do, But sometimes being strong means admitting you're through. Not through with life—just through with pretending, Through with acting like the hurting is ending. I need somebody who'll sit by my side, No questions, no judgment, just stay for the ride. 'Cause maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm scared, Maybe I just need to know somebody cares. Maybe these tears aren't something to hide, Maybe I don't have to fight everything inside. [Bridge] So if you hear me say, “I'm fine,” Listen closer between the lines. I don't need perfect words tonight, I just need somebody to remind me That I'm still worth the fight. [Final Chorus] Why am I still here? Maybe someday I'll understand. Maybe there's a reason I'm here, Maybe I haven't reached the end. I say, “I'm okay,” Even when I'm not. But I'm still standing here, And maybe that's a lot. Why am I still here? I don't know… not yet. But I'll stay long enough To see what happens next.
