Stille Here, Still Breathing

**Verse 1**

I wake up to the weight of your silence

Like it never learned my name

Every word you never said

Still crawling through my veins

I tried to be your shelter

Tried to be your home

But you don’t feel the damage

When you leave someone alone

**Pre-Chorus**

You swore I’d be the one you’d save

But I was just a phase

You learned how to forget my face

While I memorized the pain

**Chorus**

I’m still breathing, still alone

Still breaking bones to build a throne

For you to sit and watch me fall

Like I was nothing at all

You walked away, I stayed the same

Still drowning in the blame

I’m still breathing, still alone

In the wreckage you call “grown”

**Verse 2**

I hear your voice in strangers now

Every laugh feels like a lie

You took the best parts of me

Then taught me how to die inside

I keep my heart behind my teeth

So no one hears it scream

I learned that loving you

Was never what it seemed

**Pre-Chorus**

You said I’d heal if I moved on

But you’re stitched into my skin

I carry every broken night

Like it’s oxygen

**Chorus**

I’m still breathing, still alone

Still building hope from broken bones

For you to burn and walk away

Like I deserved the pain

You walked away, I stayed the same

Still choking on your name

I’m still breathing, still alone

In the ruins of what we wrote

**Bridge (screamed)**

YOU TOOK MY TRUST

AND CALLED IT LOVE

YOU TOOK MY HEART

AND FUCKED IT UP

I GAVE YOU MORE

THAN I COULD BLEED

NOW I’M THE SCAR

YOU NEVER SEE

**Breakdown (spoken → scream)**

I don’t miss you

I miss who I was before you

I don’t hate you

I hate what you turned me into

**Final Chorus (emotional / layered vocals)**

I’m still breathing, still alone

Still haunted by the words you broke

I tried to heal, I tried to change

But I’m stuck inside your frame

You walked away, I stayed the same

Still carrying the blame

I’m still breathing, still alone

But I won’t die the way you hoped

**Outro (soft)**

I’m still here

Even if you’re gone
