[Instrumentation: bright distorted emo guitars, driving bassline, punchy snare-forward drums, octave guitar leads, atmospheric pads, violins and cellos swelling into the choruses, gang-vocal chants] [Vocals: raspy emotional male vocal, melodic emo phrasing, desperate chorus belts, gang shouts] [Intro – clean delay guitar picking] As the time rolls on, I think... How hard it is to say what I feel. (All this hurting never heals...) [Verse 1] As the time rolls on, I think How hard it is to say what I feel. All this hurting never heals; I've held this weight inside so long, Now everything just feels so wrong. [Pre-Chorus] Every word stays buried in my chest, Every breath feels heavier than the rest. [Chorus] And the pain comes, And it never goes away. There's so much that I want to say. I just need someone to tell me, "I'm glad you're still here today." [Post-Chorus] Still here today... Still here today... Still here today... [Verse 2] My life's been one long tangled mess, Not many people care, I guess. Sometimes I wonder if I'd fade away— Would anybody notice anyway? Someone please make this pain let go. [Pre-Chorus] Every night feels longer than before, Every silence echoes even more. [Chorus] And the pain comes, And it never goes away. There's so much that I want to say. I just need someone to tell me, "I'm glad you're still here today." [Instrumental] (Octave guitar lead doubled by soaring violins and cello.) [Bridge] Just one person showing they care Could lift this weight I've had to bear. One small touch, one steady hand Could help this heart to understand. (Drums drop out) Maybe there's a reason left to stay... Even if I can't see it today. [Final Chorus] And the pain comes, And it never goes away. There's so much that I want to say. I just need someone to tell me, "I'm glad you're still here today." [Gang Vocal Chant] Still here today! Still here today! Still here today! [Outro] Crashing guitars and strings collide, One last cry against the night. I'm calling out, hoping someone takes the time To show me that I'm not alone this time. Still here today...
