(Verse 1) The room is quiet in that careful way, Like it’s afraid to wake my thoughts. I trace the dust along the windowsill, Count the things I almost lost. I don’t feel broken, I don’t feel strong, Just standing where I landed now— The storm moved on without a sound, And I’m still standing somehow. (Pre-Chorus) I didn’t fix the cracks in me, I didn’t learn some secret art— I just kept breathing in the dark, And that was enough to start. (Chorus) I’m still here, somehow, Not shining, not falling apart. Just breathing in the aftermath, Learning how to restart. I didn’t win, I didn’t run, I didn’t figure it all out… But I stayed. Yeah, I stayed. And I’m still here somehow. (Verse 2) There’s a softness in the quiet now, A gentler way to hold the day. I don’t chase the fire like I used to, I let the embers find their way. Some dreams rest without dying, Some truths take time to show— I’m learning not to rush the parts That only grow when slow. (Pre-Chorus 2) No grand reveal, no perfect sign, Just one more breath, then one more try. Maybe staying is its own kind of brave, Even when I don’t know why. (Chorus) I’m still here, somehow, Not louder, not less afraid. Just learning how to stand again Inside the quiet I made. I didn’t rise above it all, Didn’t outrun the doubt— But I stayed. Yeah, I stayed. And I’m still here somehow. (Bridge) Maybe that’s what strength looks like— Not shining, not serene. Just choosing not to disappear When everything feels thin. No banners raised, no victory song, Just breath returning slow… And that is more than enough, I know. (Final Chorus) I’m still here, somehow, With open hands and tired eyes. I don’t need to be reborn— I just need to stay alive. So here I am, still breathing now, Still learning how to be. Not perfect, not complete… Just here. And that’s enough for me.
