Lyrics
Verse 1
I'm not gonna tell you it gets easy
I'm not gonna dress this up in gold
I just want you to know I see the weight you're carrying
And I'm not going anywhere — I want you to know
Pre-Chorus
You don't have to be brave right now
You don't have to hold the room
Just breathe — I'll breathe beside you
That's the only thing I'll ask of you
Chorus
I'm still here
When the night runs long and the fight runs thin
I'm still here
Not to fix it — just to let you in
To the fact that you're not carrying this alone
I'm still here
And I'm not going home
Verse 2
I've seen you on the hard days
Seen you when the words run out
Seen you smile for everybody else in the room
And then I've seen what's underneath the doubt
Pre-Chorus
You don't have to perform it for me
You don't have to make it make sense
Just let me sit here with you
In whatever this is — right now — present
Chorus
I'm still here
When the night runs long and the fight runs thin
I'm still here
Not to fix it — just to let you in
To the fact that you're not carrying this alone
I'm still here
And I'm not going home
Bridge
(Softer, almost spoken)
Every heartbeat is a decision
Every morning is a door
You've walked through every one of them
That's what courage actually looks like
That's what I'm here for
Final Chorus
I'm still here
And I'll be here tomorrow too
I'm still here
Not because it's easy — because it's you
And you are worth the staying, worth the long way through
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here for you
Outro
(Fading, warm)
Still here
Still here
You're not alone in this
Still here
