From the recording Hollywood Dreams
Lyrics
I'm Still Here
[intro]
day by day
step by step
breath by breath
[Verse 1]
Morning drags me under the sheets
Heavy hands pulling down on me
Fighting to rise when the dark says stay
I claw at the dark hoping to find my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Shaking hands slowly fold into prayer
Not just for relief, but begging for air
[Chorus]
I'm still here somehow, lost but alive
Fighting through shadows to reach for the light
Catching my breath before it’s gone
Still breathing, yet barely holding on
[haunting piano solo]
[Verse 2]
Faces blur when I step outside
Every breath feels like a place to hide
I brace for the noise, but it cuts like a blade
Still I move forward, though I’m so afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
Shaking hands slowly lift in the air
Not just for surrender, but in despair
[Chorus]
I'm still here somehow, lost but alive
Fighting through shadows to reach for the light
Catching my breath though the night's still long
Still breathing, still fighting to be strong
[Bridge]
I’ve stared at pills, at bottles, at ledges
Weighed my worth on life’s sharp edges
Silently screaming, no one knew
I almost left — but something pulled me through
I hit the bottom, cracked and cold
Took one more breath, now I won't let go
breath by breath
breath by breath
breath by breath
[Chorus]
I'm still here somehow, barely alive
Fighting through shadows, trying to survive
Catching my breath as the darkness goes away
Still breathing, still living for one more day
[piano solo]
[Outro]
breath by breath
breath by breath
breath by breath
I'm still here...
[fade]
I'm Still Here
