[Intro] [Verse 1] You left your coffee by the sink A brown ring drying on the white I kept the cup a week too long Like keeping it could make things right I learned the quiet of this room The floorboard by the bedroom door Now every promise has a price And I don't pay yours anymore [Pre-Chorus] I bent until I nearly broke But something in me held its ground I found my name beneath the hurt And said it out loud [Chorus] I am still here, with my heart in my hands Still learning to stand where the old hurt began You took what you could, but you couldn't take me I'm more than the pieces you left on the floor I am still here—and I won't beg anymore [Verse 2] Your number faded from the page The one I used to know by heart I walked past that familiar street And didn't have to turn apart The morning came without a sign Just toast gone cold beside the phone I took my coat, I took my time And made the long way home my own [Pre-Chorus] I bent until I nearly broke But something in me held its ground I found my name beneath the hurt And said it out loud [Chorus] I am still here, with my heart in my hands Still learning to stand where the old hurt began You took what you could, but you couldn't take me I'm more than the pieces you left on the floor I am still here—and I won't beg anymore [Bridge] If I could meet the girl I was I'd tell her, you can leave the door You don't owe pain another night You don't have to carry it anymore [Final Chorus] I am still here, with my heart in my hands I stand in the place where the old hurt began You took what you could, but you couldn't take me I gathered the pieces and made something more I am still here—and I won't beg anymore Still here, still mine Still here, this time [Outro] I chose my own way home.
