Still Here Tonight

There's a truck light glowing down a gravel drive

Screen door swayin' in the summer night

I told myself I'd be fine by now

But some nights still hit different somehow

Old radio hummin' low in the dark

Dashboard dust, faded parking lot marks

I been learning how to sit with the truth

Some things fade, some stay bulletproof

I ain't drowning, I ain't lost

Just learning how to carry what it cost

I'm still here tonight

Still breathing, still fighting

Still holding on to what feels right

Even when the silence gets loud

Even when the world slows down

Yeah I bend but I don't break

I hurt but I don't hide

I'm still here tonight

There's a verse in red ink on my dashboard

There's a prayer I need to say loud more

But I still look up when I need strength

And somehow I always find my way back again

Front porch shadows stretch across the yard

Every memory leaves a scar

But scars don't mean you didn't survive

They just mean you made it out alive

I ain't perfect, I ain't clean

Still chasing who I'm meant to be

I'm still here tonight

Still breathing, still fighting

Still holding on to what feels right

Even when the silence gets loud

Even when the world slows down

Yeah I bend but I don't break

I hurt but I don't hide

I'm still here tonight

Maybe strength ain't loud or proud

Maybe faith don't scream out loud

Maybe it's just showing up

When you don't feel strong enough

Maybe hope is small and quiet

Maybe peace don't look like silence

Maybe healing takes its time

One slow step, one long night

I'm still here tonight

Hands shaking but steady

Heart worn down but ready

If tomorrow calls my name

I'll answer just the same

Even when the silence gets loud

Even when the world slows down

Yeah I bend but I don't break

I hurt but I don't hide

Yeah I'm still here tonight
