I learned to love you with my bags by the door Waiting for the moment you’d walk out like before Not before us, before this Before I ever knew your name I was already rehearsing loss I was already braced for pain Pre-Chorus But you didn’t leave When I pushed you to the edge you chose to stay And something in me started to believe Maybe love don’t always go away Chorus I’m still here And so are you Standing in the rubble of the stories that we grew up through I’m still here And I’m not going anywhere Even when my old wound said run I chose you I’m still here Verse 2 You went quiet in the kitchen I built a case in my head Told myself the story I’d been telling since a child That silence always meant the end But you came back around the corner Put your hand on my face Said I wasn’t going anywhere I just needed some space Pre-Chorus And I had to unlearn the waiting Had to put down what I thought I knew Had to choose the truth in front of me Instead of the story I walked into Chorus I’m still here And so are you Standing in the rubble of the stories that we grew up through I’m still here And I’m not going anywhere Even when my old wound said run I chose you I’m still here Bridge We’re not promised tomorrow We’re not owed another day But we get this one And I’m not gonna waste it Bracing for you to walk away The story said love always leaves The story said hold on or pull away But you and I we’re rewriting it One honest conversation One chosen day Outro Still here Still here And I’m choosing you still Still here And most important — remember, you are extraordinary.
