If You’re Still Listening (Her Voice)

[Intro — dark atmosphere, whispered echoes] (If you’re still listening…) (I hope you hear me…) (I’m right here…) (I’m not leaving…) I don’t know if these words will reach you, I don’t know if you’ll hear this tonight… But I needed you to know something… You were never a burden in my life. (Never a burden…) (You mattered…) ⸻ [Verse 1 — emotional rap] I’ve been staring at the screen, waiting for a reply, Trying to keep my head calm while my thoughts run wild, Every minute feels longer when I don’t know if you’re okay, Wishing I could find the perfect words to make the pain fade. I know I’m not perfect, I know I’ve made mistakes, I know there’s things I wish I could go back and change, If I ever made you feel alone, I’m sorry for that, I never wanted to add more weight to what you had. I don’t want you thinking you gotta hide your pain, Or pretend you’re okay just to make everyone stay, You don’t have to be flawless, you don’t have to be strong, You don’t have to fight every battle all alone. I wish I could take every tear that you cried, Every moment you felt like you had nowhere to hide, I’d carry the weight if I knew what to do, I’d take every storm if it meant helping you. (Helping you…) (I’m here for you…) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — building] And I know I can’t fix everything, I know I can’t erase the pain, But I hope you hear my voice tonight, And know someone cares about your name. (Someone cares…) ⸻ [Chorus — powerful vocals] If you’re still listening, please know I’m here, Even through the silence, even through the fear. I don’t need you to be perfect, I don’t need you to pretend, I just hope you keep holding on until the darkness ends. And I’m sorry for the moments I didn’t understand, Sorry I couldn’t fix it by just reaching out my hand. But I hope you see what I see when I look at you… Someone worth fighting for, someone worth getting through. (You’re worth getting through…) (You’re not alone…) ⸻ [Verse 2 — faster emotional rap] I replay every conversation inside my head, Every little thing that I wish I would’ve said, Wondering if I missed a sign, wondering if I failed, Wondering if my words could’ve helped when you felt derailed. But I’m learning that caring doesn’t mean having all the answers, Sometimes it means staying through the hardest chapters, Sometimes it’s saying “I’m here” when you don’t know what to say, Sometimes it’s reminding someone they’re worth another day. I know the world can be heavy, I know it can hurt, I know sometimes people forget what they’re worth, But the things that you’re fighting don’t define who you are, You’re more than your pain, more than your scars. And if you ever feel like nobody would notice, I hope you remember there’s someone who’s hoping, Hoping you smile again, hoping you find peace, Hoping someday the weight gets easier to breathe. (Easier to breathe…) ⸻ [Bridge — emotional breakdown, quiet vocals] Maybe I should’ve said more… Maybe I should’ve noticed… Maybe I should’ve been there… (I’m sorry…) But please don’t think you’re a problem, Please don’t think you’re too much, The world is better with your voice in it, The world is better because you’re here with us. (Because you’re here…) ⸻ [Instrumental Break — dark guitar, piano, echoes] (Stay…) (Breathe…) (You matter…) ⸻ [Final Chorus — biggest vocals] If you’re still listening, please know I’m here, I’ll keep hoping you’re okay through every fear. I can’t promise I can fix the things you face, But I can promise I won’t forget your place. You’re not just a moment, You’re not just your pain, You’re not every thought that’s running through your brain. You’re a person, you’re a heart, you’re a story still being written, And I hope you never forget how much you’re worth living. (You’re worth living…) (You’re worth fighting for…) ⸻ [Outro — fading echoes] If you’re still listening… (I’m still here…) If you’re still hurting… (You’re not alone…) If you can’t see the light yet… (Just hold on…) The story isn’t over… (Not over…) I hope you hear this… I hope you know… You matter. (You matter…)
