Still Here

[Verse 1]
I used to think the world was ending
Every time I heard a sound
Always waiting on a bad thing
Even when no one’s around
I’ve been carrying heavy memories
Trying not to let them show
Some days I still feel broken
Some days I’m learning to let go

[Chorus]
And if you hear my story someday
And you decide to walk away
I know it’ll hurt me deeply
But I’ll be okay
‘Cause I’ve made it through hard seasons
I’ve survived nights on my own
And I’m still here
I’m still here

[Verse 2]
I still get caught in old shadows
When the house gets way too still
I still flinch at a slammed door
Still hold my breath against my will
But I’m learning how to open
The curtains in my mind
Let a little more daylight in
One small step at a time

[Chorus]
And if you hear my story someday
And you decide to walk away
I know it’ll hurt me deeply
But I’ll be okay
‘Cause I’ve made it through hard seasons
I’ve survived nights on my own
And I’m still here
I’m still here

[Bridge]
I don’t need to be untouched
I don’t need to be brand new
I just need to keep on breathing
Keep on making it through
If my hands still shake sometimes
If my voice still cracks in two
That just means I’ve lived enough
To keep on reaching for the truth

[Final Chorus]
And if you hear my story someday
And you decide to walk away
I know it’ll hurt me deeply
But I’ll be okay
‘Cause I’ve made it through hard seasons
I’ve survived nights on my own
And I’m still here
I’m still here
