[Verse 1] I wore my name like a dare In a room full of square eyes Hands in my pockets, chin up high But my knees shook all night I said it slow, then I said it clear Like stepping out through glass Some folks smiled like they knew me Some turned cold so fast [Pre-Chorus] And the floor dropped out When the truth came through I thought love would stay I thought friends would too [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still here Even when they disappear I lost a few, I lost a few But I found my way to you I’m still here, I’m still here Say it out loud, make it clear I was born to live, not hide I’m still here [Verse 2] At lunch they left one open chair Then they stopped saving space Group chats went quiet overnight Like I’d changed my face One boy laughed, one girl looked away Like I’d broken some rule But I learned some hearts are small And that’s not on me to prove [Pre-Chorus] So I packed my hurt In a zip-up sleeve And I held my breath Till I learned to breathe [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still here Even when they disappear I lost a few, I lost a few But I found my way to you I’m still here, I’m still here Say it out loud, make it clear I was born to live, not hide I’m still here [Bridge] To the boy I was Shaking in the hall I know it feels like falling But you won’t lose it all There’s a hand that stays There’s a voice that sings There’s a life ahead Full of louder things [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still here Even when they disappear I lost a few, I lost a few But I found my way to you I’m still here, I’m still here Say it out loud, make it clear I was born to live, not hide I’m still here [Outro] I’m still here I’m still here Not less, not changed Just here
