I'm Still Here

I found the pieces in my hand

They were always there, it just took some time for me to understand

You gave me words I just can't say

So if nothin' else, I'll just hold on while you drift away

'Cause everything you wanted me to hide

Is everything that makes me feel alive

The cities grow, the rivers flow, where you are, I'll never know

But I'm still here

If you were right and I was wrong, why are you the one who's gone?

And I'm still here, still here

You've seen the ashes in my heart

You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart

I try to wear another face

Just to make you proud, just to make you put me in my place

But everything you wanted from me

Is everything that I could never be

The cities grow, the rivers flow, where you are, I'll never know

But I'm still here

If you were right and I was wrong, why are you the one who's gone?

And I'm still here

Maybe tonight it's gonna be alright

I will get better

Maybe today it's gonna be okay

I will remember

I held the pieces of my soul

I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole

Then I saw you yesterday

But you didn't notice and you just walked away

'Cause everything you wanted me to hide

Is everything that makes me feel alive

The cities grow, the rivers flow, where you are, I'll never know

But I'm still here (I'm still here)

If you were right and I was wrong, why are you the one who's gone?

And I'm still here (I'm still here)

The lights go out, the bridges burn, once you go, you can't return

But I'm still here

Remember how you used to say I'd be the one to run away

But I'm still here, I'm still here
