Still Here

Verse 1

I woke up with the television talking

To a room that doesn't answer back

Your picture's face-down on the dresser

Like even you got tired of that

I've been counting every little failure

Like they're reasons I should disappear

But something underneath the wreckage

Keeps saying, "You're still here"

Chorus

So don't close the door

Not yet, not tonight

I know I'm hard to hold

When I can't hold myself right

And I don't need saving

I just need somewhere to fall

If you're still on the other side

Say anything at all

Verse 2

I know I don't belong beside you

I've known it longer than you think

You make breathing look so easy

I make everything I touch just sink

Maybe I was built with something missing

Maybe everybody sees it too

I learned to laugh before they noticed

How badly I wanted to be like you

Chorus

So don't close the door

Not yet, not tonight

I know I'm hard to hold

When I can't hold myself right

And I don't need saving

I just need somewhere to fall

If you're still on the other side

Say anything at all

Bridge

But if you're done

Then don't pretend

Don't give me hope

Just to be kind again

I'd rather hear

The awful truth

Than spend another night

Inventing words for you

Verse 3

And maybe tomorrow I'll get out of this bed

Maybe the noise will finally quiet in my head

Maybe being broken doesn't mean I'm meant to break

Maybe staying one more night is all that staying takes

Chorus

So I'll leave the door

Open just tonight

I still don't know exactly

How to make myself alright

You don't have to save me

You don't have to understand

Just tell me there's a reason

Not to let go where I am

Outro

And if you can't—

I'll still be here

I'll still be here

Even if I hate

That I'm still here
