Vertical Horizon - I'm Still Here lyrics

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 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 Still here 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 But everything you wanted from me Is everything that I could never be 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 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 And you just walked away Cause everything you wanted me to hide Is everything that makes me feel alive 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 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
