[Verse 1 – calm, reflective tone] Days pass quietly, the phone stays dark, Names I used to hear now leave no mark. Parents distant, siblings move on, Cousins and kin, their warmth is gone. I gave what I could, and then some more, But connection comes only when it’s mutual, never forced. So I’ve learned to walk without the crowd, To carry my life when silence is loud. --- [Pre-Chorus] It’s not anger, not regret, Just noticing the love I haven’t met. --- [Chorus – steady, emotional, mature] Nobody calls, nobody checks, Life keeps moving, but I reflect. I’m here, I stand, I survive, Even when the world forgets I’m alive. Nobody reaches, nobody stays, But I’ve learned to navigate my own ways. Family or not, I’ve grown to see, The only constant has been me. --- [Verse 2 – quiet strength, introspective] I used to wait, I used to hope, Looking for hands to help me cope. But expectations fade, and clarity grows, I measure life by what I chose. Blood doesn’t always mean support, Words are empty when they’re cut short. So I carry on, steady and calm, Building my peace, away from harm. --- [Pre-Chorus – subtle] It’s not bitterness, it’s just truth, Acknowledging loss, reclaiming proof. --- [Chorus – layered, mature, full instrumentation] Nobody calls, nobody checks, Life keeps moving, but I reflect. I’m here, I stand, I survive, Even when the world forgets I’m alive. Nobody reaches, nobody stays, But I’ve learned to navigate my own ways. Family or not, I’ve grown to see, The only constant has been me. --- [Bridge – reflective, softer] Silence is heavy, but it taught me well, How to find meaning without someone else. I hold my own, I walk my line, Time reveals what’s truly mine. --- [Chorus – calm resolve, fading] Nobody calls, nobody checks, Life keeps moving, but I reflect. I’m here, I stand, I survive, Even when the world forgets I’m alive. Nobody reaches, nobody stays, I’ve learned to navigate my own ways. Family or not, I’ve grown to see, The only constant has been me. (Outro – whispered over soft guitar fading) I’m still here… and that’s enough.
