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
PRE-CHORUS 1
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 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
VERSE 2 (W/ VERSE RIFF)
You ve seen the ashes in my heart
You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart
I tried to wear another face
Just to make you proud, just to make you put me in my place
PRE-CHORUS 2
But everything you wanted from me
Is everything that I could never be
CHORUS
The cities grow
The rivers flow
Where you are, I 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
And I m still here
BRIDGE
Maybe tonight, it s gonna be alright
I will get better
Maybe today , it s gonna be okay
I will remember
VERSE 3 (W/ VERSE RIFF UNTIL FINAL G )
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
PRE-CHORUS 3
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 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
OUTRO CHORUS
The lights go out
the bridges burn
Once you re gone, 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
I m still here
