Verse I’m tired of swallowing fixes, lining them up just to cope. Trying to dull the sharp edges without losing all the hope. I can’t get high enough to float it, can’t get numb enough to stay, everything keeps asking more of me and I’m already frayed. Pre-Chorus I want to vanish, I want to go — I desperately need the volume turned down low. Chorus (HOOK) I’m still here, even when I don’t want to be. Still here, when being here costs everything. I can’t get far enough away to finally feel okay — so I’m still here, yeah, I’m still here. Verse Every pill says “hold on longer,” every day says “try again.” I’m doing everything I’m told to just to stay inside my skin. I don’t need another answer, I don’t need a better plan, I just need one quiet second where I don’t have to pretend. Pre-Chorus I want to disappear, I just want some peace — I’m fighting the noise that won’t release. Chorus I’m still here, even when I don’t want to be. Still here, when being here costs everything. I can’t get far enough away to finally feel okay — so I’m still here, yeah, I’m still here. Bridge (raw, restrained) This isn’t strength, this isn’t grace — this is surviving in the in-between space. I don’t feel better. I don’t feel free. I just haven’t left. Final Chorus (quiet, steady) I’m still here. Breathing anyway. Still here, even on the days I don’t want to stay. I don’t know why — but I’m still here tonight. Still here.
