Are You Still There

It's three in the morning, I can't sleep

The room is dark, just me and you

I don't even know if you can hear me

But I'm talking anyway - 'cause what else can I do

I never understood so much of it

Why it all has to go this way

Why the ones who try the hardest break the most

But something deep in me still believes

I got no Bible open, no cross on the wall

Just this one question on my lips tonight

Are you still there? (still there)

Can you hear me now? (hear me now)

I'm whispering into the dark

I don't know if you answer

But something keeps me breathing (keeps me breathing)

Something carries me (carries me)

Is that you?

Are you still there?

I've watched this world

Turn people into numbers every day

I've felt what loneliness can do

It nearly took my mind away

And then - real quiet, out of nowhere

Something says: you're gonna make it through

I can't explain it, don't know how

I just call it hope - I think I mean you

I'm whispering 'cause I want to scream

And 'cause I know - you hear me either way

Are you still there? (still there)

Can you hear me now? (hear me now)

I'm whispering into the dark

I don't know if you answer

But something keeps me breathing (keeps me breathing)

Something carries me (carries me)

Is that you?

Are you still there?

Maybe you're the one who holds me up

When I'm about to fall, when everything burns

The voice that no one else can hear

The one who knows my name

I'm fourteen - too young, too old

Too broken for this world it seems

But I hold on with you beside me

'Cause you're the one who holds me

Are you still there?

I think you're there (you're there)

I'm whispering into the dark

You don't answer loud (not loud)

But something keeps me breathing (keeps me breathing)
