# I'M STILL HERE **[Intro]** Yeah... I've lost a lot. I've changed a lot. I've said things I can't take back. I've carried things I thought would bury me. But... I'm still here. **[Verse 1]** I'm still here, even after all the nights I disappeared, Even after every doubt got louder than my dreams, Even after every person that I loved became a lesson, Even after all the moments I was scared to face myself. I'm still here, with the scars that I don't show everybody, With the memories that still hit me whenever I'm alone, With the parts of me I lost and the pieces I recovered, With a heart that's been through hell but somehow hasn't turned to stone. I remember feeling like I couldn't take another second, Like the weight upon my shoulders was becoming my identity, Now I look at every struggle as a chapter, not a sentence, And the things that tried to end me helped construct my resilience. I don't romanticize the pain, I don't pretend it made me better, Some things hurt for no reason, some wounds don't come with lessons, But I made something from the pieces that were left inside the wreckage, And that's enough to keep me moving when the past becomes aggressive. **[Pre-Hook]** I was lost. I was hurting. I was scared. I was changing. But through every version of me... I remained. **[Hook]** I'm still here, After everything I've been through, I'm still here, After every broken promise, every tear, Every night I thought the end was getting near, I'm still here. I'm still here, And I don't need to hide the scars I wear, They can see the pain was real, I don't care, I survived what I survived and I'm still here. I'm still here... Yeah. I'm still here. **[Verse 2]** I got history that follows me, but history ain't destiny, Got some people who remember every version of the enemy, Got some people who remember when I barely had an energy, Now I'm building something bigger out of everything that damaged me. I had moments where I questioned if the future had a place for me, Moments where the person in the mirror wasn't recognizable, Moments where I felt invisible, replaceable, disposable, Now I'm turning every "never" into something undeniable. I ain't saying I'm invincible. I'm saying I'm adaptable. I've been bent until I nearly broke and still became unbreakable, Every time the world got heavy, I became more uncomfortable, Then I learned discomfort doesn't mean that something's impossible. I learned that healing isn't linear, That progress isn't permanent, That sometimes you move forward Then you circle back to where the hurt began. But if I have to start again, I'll start again. If I have to rebuild, I'll build again. If I have to rediscover who I am, I'll meet myself again. I spent too long believing that surviving wasn't enough. Now I know... Sometimes surviving is the beginning. **[Pre-Hook]** I was lost. I was hurting. I was scared. I was changing. But through every version of me... I remained. **[Hook]** I'm still here, After everything I've been through, I'm still here, After every broken promise, every tear, Every night I thought the end was getting near, I'm still here. I'm still here, And I don't need to hide the scars I wear, They can see the pain was real, I don't care, I survived what I survived and I'm still here. I'm still here... Yeah. I'm still here. **[Verse 3]** Now I'm standing on the edge of everything I used to fear, Looking back at all the versions of myself that brought me here, Every failure, every fracture, every year I disappeared, Every sentence left unfinished, every word I couldn't hear. And I finally understand what the album was about, It was never just the people that I loved and lost without, It was everything I swallowed, everything I wouldn't shout, Everything I kept inside until it almost drowned me out. This is every unsent message, every unfinished conversation, Every moment I confused my isolation for protection, Every time I chose my pride instead of honest communication, Every wound that I disguised as an excuse for confrontation. This is every fucking night that I questioned my existence, Every time I felt the distance between who I was and who I envisioned, Every time I hit a wall and kept rebuilding my ambitions, Every time I almost quit but found another reason in me. So if you hear this album and you recognize yourself... Know you're not the only one who's ever felt like this. You can be broken and still beautiful. You can be exhausted and still keep moving. You can regret who you were Without hating who you are. And you can carry the past... Without letting it carry you. **[Bridge]** Everything I never said... I finally said it. Everything I tried to hide... I finally faced it. Everything that hurt... I finally let it exist. And somehow... After all of it... I'm still here. **[Final Hook]**
