I am still here

I can hear the room go quiet When I breathe your name I can feel the light bend slowly But it never feels the same There is a place inside the silence Where I keep the things I hide Every broken little promise Every truth I left behind I have carried all the echoes I have learned to let them ring But tonight I won’t run from them Tonight I’m going to sing If I fall Let me fall awake If I break Let the whole room shake I am still here After all this time With my hands open And my heart on the line I am still here Let the shadows move I have nothing left But the voice I use There were days I disappeared Just to make it through the night There were words I never answered There were wars I couldn’t fight But the dark did not destroy me It just taught my eyes to see Every scar became a doorway Every wound became a key If I fall Let me fall awake If I break Let the whole room shake I am still here After all this time With my hands open And my heart on the line I am still here Let the shadows move I have nothing left But the voice I use No more hiding No more holding No more waiting To be whole No more silence No more fading I will sing back What they stole I am still here After all this time With my hands open And my heart on the line I am still here Let the shadows move I have nothing left But the voice I use I am still here I am still here I am still here
