(Intro — Piano, Whispered) [Soft piano. A single heartbeat kick. Distant hospital monitor beep.] Hmm... hmm... hmm... I'm still here... Hmm... hmm... hmm... I'm still me... (Verse 1 — The Patient, Confused but Present) I wake up in a room I don't know A face is smiling, says she loves me so I don't remember giving her my name But something in my chest feels just the same The photos on the wall are blurry lines I trace the edges, looking for the signs Of who I was, of who I used to be But the mirror says a stranger's looking back at me (Piano builds. Cello enters.) (Pre-Chorus — The Caregiver, Watching) And I watch you fade like morning into night I hold your hand and tell you it's alright You don't remember what we used to share But I remember enough for us to bear (Strings swell. Drums enter softly.) (Chorus — Soaring, Hopeful) Still me, still you Even when the memories fall through Still here, still now Love doesn't need to remember how I may forget the stories that we made But the feeling in my heart will never fade Still me, still you Still everything we ever knew (Choir: Still me... still you...) (Verse 2 — The Truth About People) I learned the truth when the money ran low Saw who would stay and who would go They loved me when the wallet was full But when it emptied, the silence was cruel Health is a treasure, money's a test It shows you who's real and who's a guest Some relationships are chains dressed as love Better alone than with wrong ones above (Piano grows urgent. Bass deepens.) (Pre-Chorus — Building) I'd rather be alone in a quiet home Than surrounded by those who make me feel alone Money's not the villain, it's just a light It shows you the colors hiding in the night (Drums build. Strings soar.) (Chorus — Explosive, Soaring) Still me, still you Even when the memories fall through Still here, still now Love doesn't need to remember how I may forget the stories that we made But the feeling in my heart will never fade Still me, still you Still everything we ever knew (Choir: Still me... still you...) (Bridge — Stripped, Intimate) [Piano and voice only. Whispered.] Save your money, save your health Don't give your power to someone else Learn from experience, learn from pain Some lessons only come through rain Be kind, be loving, but be wise See the truth behind the smiling eyes Money's not the villain, it's a mirror It shows you who is far and who is nearer (Beat returns. Strings build.) And when your mind begins to drift away I'll be the one who chooses still to stay Not because I have to, but because I choose Love isn't something that you win or lose It's a gift you give without a string It's the song your heart continues to sing Even when the words are all gone The melody of love keeps holding on (Full band explodes. Choir enters.) STILL ME! STILL YOU! EVEN WHEN THE MEMORIES FALL THROUGH! STILL HERE! STILL NOW! LOVE DOESN'T NEED TO REMEMBER HOW! (Final Chorus — Massive, Singalong) Still me, still you Even when the memories fall through Still here, still now Love doesn't need to remember how I may forget the stories that we made But the feeling in my heart will never fade Still me, still you Still everything we ever knew (Choir: Still me... still you...) YOU WILL STILL FALL! THE MIND STILL FADES! BUT THE HEART REMEMBERS WHAT THE BRAIN ERASES! SO WILL YOU! SO WILL YOU! LOVE WILL CARRY US THROUGH! (Sia-style powerhouse vocal. Strings soar. Drums pound. Choir screams.) (Outro — Stripped, Spoken Word, Whispered) [Beat stops. Piano returns. Single voice.] Save your money... Save your health... Don't give your power... To someone else... Be alone if you have to... But never be with wrong... Money shows the truth... And truth will make you strong... And when my mind is gone... And I don't know your name... Just hold my hand and whisper... "You're still you... just the same..." Still me... Still you... Still here... Still now... Love doesn't need... To remember how... (Piano holds one final chord. Silence.)
