I found the pieces in my hand

They were always there

It just took some time for me to understand

You gave me words I just can't say

So if nothing else

I'll just hold on while you drift away



Cause everything you wanted me to hide

Is everything that makes me feel alive



CHORUS:

The cities grow the rivers flow

Where you are I'll never know

But I'm still here

If you were right and I was wrong

Why are you the one who's gone

And I'm still here



I'm still here



You've seen the ashes in my heart

You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart

I try to wear another face

Just to make you proud

Just to make you put me in my place



But everything you wanted from me

Is everything that I could never be



(chorus)



Maybe tonight it's gonna be alright

I will get better

Maybe today it's gonna be okay

I will remember



I held the pieces of my soul

I was shattered

And I wanted you to come and make me whole

Then I saw you yesterday

But you didn't notice

You just walked away



Cause everything you wanted me to hide

Is everything that makes me feel alive



(chorus)



The lights go out the bridges burn

Once you go you can't return

But I'm still here

Remember how you used to say

I'd be the one to run away

But I'm still here



I'm still here
