Lyrics
I still set a place where you used to sit
Still hear your laugh in the silence, legit
Some days I forget, then it hits like a wave
Like I’m fine, then I’m cryin’ on the drive to your grave
You taught me grace when the world got cold
Told me “stand tall” when I wanted to fold
Now I talk to the sky like you’re up in the clouds
No reply, but I feel you hangin’ around
You’re still here
In the way I fight, in the way I grow
In the quiet nights only I know
You’re still here
In the tears I cry, in the strength I show
Gone from sight, but I won’t let go
You’re still here
I see your face in the little things
Old photos, old songs, even wedding rings
You ain’t gone, just moved to a different space
Now I carry your light in this empty place
Yeah, I stumble, yeah I break
But your voice is the echo that helps me shake
The pain off, stand up, breathe in again
Like you’re sayin’ “keep goin’, you were born to mend”
You’re still here
In the way I fight, in the way I grow
In the quiet nights only I know
You’re still here
In the tears I cry, in the strength I show
Gone from sight, but I won’t let go
You’re still here
I light a candle, I play that song
I live this life with you still along
You’re the reason I try, the reason I stay
You may be gone, but you show up every day
You’re still here
In the way I fight, in the way I grow
In the quiet nights only I know
You’re still here
In the tears I cry, in the strength I show
Gone from sight, but I won’t let go
You’re still here
Yeah, you’re still here
