Still Right There [v2]

Title: "Still Right There" **Verse 1** I might slip into a quiet place, But that don’t mean I’ve gone away. I just need a little time to breathe, To sort my mind, to find my peace. I never meant to let it stretch this long, Never meant to make you feel I’d moved on. One day turned to weeks, and weeks turned to space, And now I don’t know how to fill this place. **Pre-Chorus** I wasn’t running, I wasn’t gone, I was just dealing, but I took too long. I know it hurt, I know it stings, And I won’t make excuses for anything. **Chorus** I was still right there, even in the quiet, Never let you go, never stopped trying. But the words got heavy, the space got wide, And I let the silence build inside. I never wanted this to be, A broken trust, a missing piece. If we can start again, I’ll show you clear, Even when I’m quiet… I’m still right here. **Verse 2** I won’t lay blame, it’s on me, I let my fear keep me from what should be. I felt the weight of what younsaid, And I should have spoken up instead. I meant to fix it, meant to write, But I let the words stay locked inside. And all I did was sing my pain, Hoping somehow you’d feel my shame. **Pre-Chorus** I wasn’t running, I wasn’t gone, I was just dealing, but I took too long. I know it hurt, I know it stings, And I won’t make excuses for anything. **Chorus** I was still right there, even in the quiet, Never let you go, never stopped trying. But the words got heavy, the space got wide, And I let the silence build inside. I never wanted this to be, A broken trust, a missing piece. If we can start again, I’ll show you clear, Even when I’m quiet… I’m still right here. **Bridge** If you’re willing, if you’ll take a chance, We can build again, we can make it last. No pressure, no weight, just space to grow, No fear of silence, ‘cause now you’ll know… **Final Chorus** I was still right there, even in the quiet, Never let you go, never stopped trying. But the words got heavy, the space got wide, And I let the silence build inside. I never wanted this to be, A broken trust, a missing piece. If we can start again, I’ll show you clear, Even when I’m quiet… I’m still right here. **Outro** I might need time, but I won’t fade, I’ll find the words before it’s too late. And if you’re still here, if you still care, Even in the silence… I’m still right there. [Ad lib]
