**Verse 1** Morning found me in the wreckage Same walls, different light Nothing suddenly got better Nothing fixed itself overnight There are still names that hurt to whisper Still rooms I cannot cross Still pieces of the future Buried underneath the loss But I got up I made the coffee I answered when someone called I stood inside the broken places And somehow didn’t fall Not because I felt courageous Not because the pain was gone I just kept moving through the silence One small breath and then another one **Pre-Chorus** Maybe survival isn’t beautiful Maybe it doesn’t look like grace Maybe sometimes it’s just staying When grief has taken up the space **Chorus** I’m still here in the ruins Still breathing through the dust Still loving what was shattered Still trying because I must I don’t know what comes after I don’t know what heals from this But I’m still here in the ruins And tonight that has to mean something I’m still here Still reaching Still calling every name Still carrying five hearts Even though nothing stayed the same I’m not calling this a victory I’m not saying I’m okay I’m just standing in the ruins And I made it through today **Verse 2** For so long I thought the wreckage Was the shape of who I was Like broken things around me Could explain what I had become Every scar became a verdict Every loss became my name And I wore guilt like mourning clothes Until I forgot they weren’t the same But sometimes in the quiet I can see another truth There are things I couldn’t control And things I still got through There are two hearts still beside me There are three I still hold near And loving all five forward Has survived another year **Pre-Chorus** Maybe being here isn’t nothing Maybe staying counts somehow Maybe I don’t need tomorrow To explain why I’m still here now **Chorus** I’m still here in the ruins Still breathing through the dust Still loving what was shattered Still trying because I must I don’t know what comes after I don’t know what heals from this But I’m still here in the ruins And tonight that has to mean something I’m still here Still reaching Still calling every name Still carrying five hearts Even though nothing stayed the same I’m not calling this a victory I’m not saying I’m okay I’m just standing in the ruins And I made it through today **Bridge** I used to think surviving Was the smallest thing I did Like breathing didn’t matter If I couldn’t fix the rest of it But maybe every morning I choose to stay and try Is one more piece of evidence That something in me didn’t die Not hope Not yet Maybe something smaller Maybe just a stubborn spark That refuses to go quiet Even surrounded by the dark And maybe that is enough For this moment For this room For this night **Breakdown** Nothing is fixed. Nothing is forgotten. Nothing stopped hurting. But I’m here. I’m still here. **Final Chorus** I’m still here in the ruins And maybe that means more Than every voice that told me I should have been stronger before I’m still here with open hands Even after what they held And maybe being unable to save it all Doesn’t mean that I have failed I’m still here Still loving Still learning how to stay Still carrying five hearts Without blaming mine today Not forever Not completely Just enough to let this be— I survived the ruins And the ruins Didn’t finish me **Outro** The walls are broken. The future changed. Some things are gone. But I’m still here. And tonight I’m letting that be enough.
