Still Here [Final Version]

[Verse 1] I sit beside you — but you’re already gone. Your eyes drift past me, like dusk pretending to be dawn. Light bends, quiet, tries to hide the cracks. I whisper something small, it doesn’t come back. You smile that practiced kind of grace, but it never touches your face. Glass between us — thin, unkind. I reach, but it cuts, every single time. [Chorus] I’m still here — but you’re somewhere else. Same air, different hells. Our silence hums like a dying tone, two bodies pretending not to be alone. I reach for your hand — it turns to air. And I just stand there. [Verse 2] Once our quiet was safe — now it bites. The air still remembers, but it’s losing the light. You said, “Love doesn’t fade — it hides.” Then why’s it gone from your eyes? If this is forever, it feels like loss. Like praying to a name you already forgot. [Hook] Stay — just a breath. A spark. A trace. You carved your name in me — deep place. Even if you’re gone astray, I’ll hold your ghost ’til it fades away. [Verse 3] I miss you while you still exist. No start, no end, just the hollow twist. Your hand’s so close, but out of reach. And love… love’s the cruelest teacher. [Bridge] I want to call your name, but it sounds wrong now. Like a song I knew — but can’t remember how. [Final Chorus] I’m still here — but you’re miles away. Same room, same decay. Our closeness hums — a ghosted tone. Echoes trapped in flesh and bone. I reach — you’re not there. Just air. [Outro] Still here. Still breathing. Still… waiting.
