[Verse 1] I missed the last bus, walked home alone again Streetlights flicker like they know my name Phone in my hand but I don’t call no one It just stays silent like it’s part of the pain Mama said “stay strong” but I just nod my head Like I understand more than I really do Funny how life don’t say it direct You learn it late when it’s already through [Chorus] I’m still here even when it hurts Trying to heal but it never works I keep moving through all the dirt Turn my pain into something that works No turning back, I see it clear Everything I lost made me here I take the weight and disappear But I’m still standing year by year [Verse 2] Old friends fade like they never existed Scroll through memories I once trusted We used to talk like nothing could break it Now it feels like we all just adjusted I stopped expecting people to stay [Bridge] I remember nights I said nothing at all Just me and my thoughts staring at the wall No one around but it still felt loud Like I was lost even in a crowd Some things you don’t explain You just carry through the pain [Chorus] I’m still here even when it hurts Trying to heal but it never works I keep moving through all the dirt Turn my pain into something that works No turning back, I see it clear Everything I lost made me here I take the weight and disappear But I’m still standing year by year year by year year by year I take the weight and disappear But I’m still standing year by year
