The door is right there, I won't pretend I felt the pull to disappear again Every muscle said go, every thought said leave But I looked across the room and I chose to breathe There's a story in my chest that says I'm not enough That says the ones I love deserve someone who isn't stuck But stories aren't the truth — they're just what I've been told And I'm choosing what is real over what I've known PRE-CHORUS I don't have to be unbroken I don't have to have it right I just have to keep on standing In the middle of the fight Not as a hero — just a person Who decided: not tonight CHORUS I'm still here with you When everything in me wanted to run I'm still here with you Not because it's easy — just because you're the one It's not about being strong It's about choosing what matters most So I'm still here with you Still here with you VERSE 2 I used to think that love was smooth and clean That if it hurt this much then something must be wrong with me But showing up is messy, it's a little bit of grace It's staying in the room when you'd rather leave the space The story says I'm too tired, too late, too far gone But you're still sitting across from me and that means something strong So I loosen up my hands and I let that story fall 'Cause the moment that I stay is worth more than it all (Pre-Chorus + Chorus repeat) BRIDGE This is the moment Right here, right now Not the one behind me Not the one I'm scared to allow I put down the story That said it was too late And I looked you in the eyes And I decided to stay This is the turning point The silence before the shift When staying becomes the bravest And most generous gift Not because I'm healed Not because I've won Just because I'm here And that's enough — that's enough OUTRO (soft, settled — landing in peace) I'm still here Quietly, I'm still here Not triumphant, not finished Just present — still here You don't have to earn my presence I don't have to earn yours We just keep showing up And walk through the same door Still here Still here with you Still here
