Lyric

The sun came up slowly through the curtains

Painting gold across the empty room

For the first time in a long while

The silence didn’t feel like losing

We carried so many invisible things?

Late-night fears, unfinished conversations

The versions of ourselves we almost abandoned

On nights nobody else saw

But somehow, through every breaking point

Through every season we thought would swallow us whole

We kept waking up

Not untouched

Not unhurt

Just still here

We’re still here

After every night we thought would end us

With shaking hands and tired hearts

We still found a way to morning

We’re still here

Not because life became easy

But because somewhere inside the hurting

Something refused to disappear

There are scars we stopped explaining

Dreams we quietly folded away

People we loved who became memories

Living softly inside ordinary days

And still, the sky keeps changing colors

Still, coffee gets cold beside the window

Still, there are songs that remind us

We survived more than we thought we could

Maybe healing was never becoming new

Maybe it was learning not to leave ourselves behind

We’re still here

With all the unfinished pieces of us

The fear still visits sometimes

But it no longer owns the room

We’re still here

Learning how to breathe more gently

And maybe that quiet kind of hope

Is enough to keep carrying forward

I used to think strength meant never falling apart

But now I think it means returning?

Again and again

To the life waiting for us

We’re still here

Through every storm that tried to erase us

Not fearless, not flawless, not finished?

Just alive enough to keep going

We’re still here

Watching morning light cross the floorboards

And after everything we survived

Maybe that alone is beautiful

Outside, the city slowly woke again

And for once, we wanted to wake with it
