[Intro] The sunset came a little late tonight The city forgot its name somehow I pretended not to hear it But my heart kept knocking loud [Verse 1] I walked around the stretching shadows Trying not to step on them Collected every “right” answer Still couldn’t save the night again Through the convenience store lights A stranger stares back at me I learned how to act like I’m grown That’s all I really learned, maybe [Pre-Chorus] The words I never dared to say Make the deepest noise inside That heat I thought I lost forever Is still alive [Chorus] Even if I don’t scream, my heart is shaking Quiet feelings never fade away In this orange-colored moment We were just trying to breathe If I had reached out just a little sooner The future might’ve touched my hand I’m still here, I’m still here [Verse 2] The smell of late summer wind A little bitter, a little sweet Smiles and promises we left behind Still follow me in my sleep “Everything’s okay” is such a fragile lie The hardest one to trust The things I wanted most Were always drifting far from us [Pre-Chorus] Mistakes and regrets included I can carry all of them The days I didn’t run away Still let me stand [Chorus] Even if I don’t cry, my heart keeps singing Small passions refuse to die Before the sunset melts into night We don’t have to be brave The life I never chose somehow Is still shining right here I’m still here, I’m still here [Bridge] If I could go back to that day I’d choose the same road again Every scar I carry now Proves how far I’ve been I breathe in quietly Right in the middle of the dark Everything will be alright I whisper to my heart [Final Chorus] Even if I don’t cry, my heart keeps singing Even when no one’s watching me Beyond the dusk, I still believe Morning waits for me This long, winding life I took Is the answer I can say out loud I finally can [Outro] The summer air is fading slow The city starts to move again This isn’t goodbye Just walk on, just walk on
