I'm still here

Verse 1

I gave you everything I could,

But you left me standing in the rain,

Every promise cracked and splintered,

Every word just fed the pain.

Pre-Chorus

You said forever, I believed,

But forever was a lie you breathed,

Now I’m staring at the wreckage,

Of the trust you buried deep.

Chorus

I’m empty-handed, but I’m not alone,

Carrying scars that feel like stone,

You broke me down, you tore me apart,

But I still fight with a heavy heart.

I’m empty-handed, but I still remain,

Stronger than the weight of your chains,

You left me bleeding, you left me scarred—

But I’ll rise again from where you are.

Verse 2

The storm keeps pounding on my chest,

Every heartbeat feels like protest,

I built my faith on fragile bones,

Now I’m stronger standing on my own.

Bridge (Breakdown)

You were the dagger dressed as a friend,

The sweetest lie that brought the end,

I see the truth, I see the scars,

But I’ll burn brighter than the dark.

(Shouted)

Empty-handed! Heavy-hearted!

But I’ll never be discarded!

Outro

Empty hands don’t mean defeat,

They’re proof I survived the beast,

You took my trust, you took my light—

But I’m still here, I’m still alive.
