Still Here

Verse 1

I was quiet I was small

Polite and sweet and gentle

Trusted everyone who called

Now I flinch at every gentle

Hand that reaches for my shoulder

Learned the hardest way to hold her

Pre-Chorus

They took and took and tossed me out

Beat me down and left me there

His family threw their curses loud

Tried to kill me with the air

I stood on that road and waited

For the headlights to come save me

Chorus

The sweet girl's still in here

Buried under all the fear

You gotta dig down deep to find her

She's cold now she's colder

But she's still breathing

Still believing

Still here

Drop

(Still here)

(Still here)

Verse 2

I gave my daughter up to strangers

Signed my name and lost my soul

Twice a year is all I'm given

She's the reason I stay whole

Sixteen years of missing pieces

Cut myself to feel the pain

Pre-Chorus

I don't trust a single person

Unless you earn it slow and true

I read what you try to hide

I feel everything you do

Chorus

The sweet girl's still in here

Buried under all the fear

You gotta dig down deep to find her

She's cold now she's colder

But she's still breathing

Still believing

Still here

Bridge

Hate the crowds hate the noise

Hate the world and all its lies

But my family my small circle

I would burn down all the skies

Don't cross me don't test me

I will scream and I will bite

But love me and I'll love like

Waterfalls through the night

Chorus

The sweet girl's still in here

Buried under all the fear

You gotta dig down deep to find her

She's cold now she's colder

But she's still breathing

Still believing

Still here

Post-Chorus

(Still here)

(Still breathing)

(Still here)
