I Still See You

⸻ [Verse 1] I saw you sittin’ in that corner seat Like you were part of the walls, nothin’ left to speak You smiled when someone passed on through But I saw the storm that lived in you You ain’t just noise, you’re a mournin’ song That this world plays but sings all wrong And I hate myself for not askin’ more When you left quiet through that screen door ⸻ [Chorus] But I still see you, even when you fade In the hush of dusk, in the break of day You might feel like you ain’t been known But you ain’t ever truly been alone I know the fight, I’ve worn it too That lonely weight that don’t let you move But if you vanish, just know it’s true— This broken world still needed you ⸻ [Verse 2] You wrote in pain like poets do But no one reads the pages true You lit that match to feel some heat In a world that don’t look underneath But you got hands that deserve to hold A love that lingers, quiet and bold And I swear if you called my name I’d run through hell just to take your pain ⸻ [Chorus] ‘Cause I still see you, even through the smoke When your voice goes low, and your heart feels broke You might feel like a disappearing song But I’m still here, been here all along I know the ache, I’ve lived that tune That lonesome dark that steals your room But if you vanish, don’t forget this truth— You were never not enough for you ⸻ [Bridge] We all break, we all bend But this ain’t how your story ends You’re not a ghost, you’re fire and soul And even dim stars still glow ⸻ [Final Chorus] So stay, my friend, just one more day Let the sorrow speak, let the silence fray I’ll hold your name like a sacred vow You ain’t alone—not here, not now I still see you, through the pain and fear You’re more than barely—you’re fully here You’re still here… yeah, you’re still here.
