[Verse 1] I don’t have the prettiest voice, never did Got gravel from too many late nights and cigarettes and Gin. But every time the dark gets loud and the road feels long I think of you and the ache turns into song [Pre-Chorus] I’ve carried rust, I’ve carried shame, I’ve carried stones I didn’t name But the only weight that ever felt like home Was the promise I made when I said I’d never roam [Chorus] I’m still here, still yours, still the fool who’d drive through any storm Still the one who’d pick you up when the world feels torn I’d choose you in the wreckage, I’d choose you in the fire Every mile, every scar, every broken wire I’m still here… still yours… And I always will be [Verse 2] You know the nights I couldn’t speak, when the words got stuck You never asked me to explain, you just stayed, you just touched My hand, my shoulder, the space where the hurt lives You held it quiet, like you knew what forgiveness is [Pre-Chorus] I’ve forged my heart a hundred times, burned it down, built it back But the only piece that never cracked Was the part that learned your laugh [Chorus] I’m still here, still yours, still the fool who’d drive through any storm Still the one who’d pick you up when the world feels torn I’d choose you in the wreckage, I’d choose you in the fire Every mile, every scar, every broken wire I’m still here… still yours… And I always will be [Bridge — slower, almost spoken over a single open chord] If the road ends tomorrow, if the lights go black I won’t ask for heaven, I won’t ask for it back I’ll just ask for one more minute with your hand in mine One more breath where your heartbeat’s next to mine That’s all I’d need… That’s all I’ve ever needed [Final Chorus — full but still soft, voice cracks just a little on “always”] I’m still here, still yours, through the cold and through the flame Still the one who’d carry every mile that bears your name I’d choose you in the silence, I’d choose you in the roar I’d choose you every lifetime, every second, every door I’m still here… still yours… And I always will be [Outro — single guitar, fading] Yeah… I’m still here… Still yours… Always.
