Still Here

Still Here lyrics

I didn't think I would make it to today.
Honestly, most days I wanted to give up and hide.
It felt like everything was falling apart around me.
But somehow, I found the strength to keep going.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
People talk about being strong like it's a choice.
But I was just trying to survive, one minute at a time.
I lost friends, I lost sleep, I almost lost my mind.
And yet, here I am, getting ready for church.
I don't even know if I believe everything I'm singing.
But I'm showing up anyway, because I need this.
I need to feel something other than this heavy weight.
So I lift my hands and I let the tears fall.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
But some days it just leaves you exhausted and numb.
I look in the mirror and I don't even know who this is.
A survivor, maybe? Or just someone who refused to let go.
I'm tired of being strong all the time.
I'm tired of having to fight for every inch of peace.
But I'm here. And that has to mean something.
I'm here, and I'm still trying.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
They don't see the nights I spent on the floor crying.
They just see the smile I put on for the world on Sunday.
But this isn't fake. It's the most real thing I've ever known.
It's me choosing to stand when everything in me wants to fall.
I don't need to explain myself to anyone anymore.
I am alive. I am moving forward. And that is enough.
So if you're wondering how I did it... honestly, I don't know.
But I'm here. (I'm here). And I'm still here.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
STILL HERE! (Did I win or did I just survive?)
And I'm still standing, through all the pain.
STILL HERE! (How am I even smiling right now?)
I made it through the fire, and I'm still here.
Yeah, I'm showing up on Sunday.
Lifting my hands, letting it all go.
I'm still here. I am still here.
(Thank you). And I'm still here.
