Still

There is a particular kind of pain that doesn't announce itself with a single blow. It builds in the quiet — in the secrets you agreed to keep, in the apologies you offered for things that were never your fault, in the hair that started falling out because your body understood what your heart refused to accept. This song was written for that pain: the kind that lives inside a person who loved completely, forgave genuinely, and still found themselves erased — removed from a social media feed, left in a six-week silence that was never officially called a goodbye.

「Still」follows a woman through the full arc of that unraveling: from the moment she disclosed her past trauma to someone she trusted, through the December confession she absorbed and carried alone, through a PTSD attack met with a shrug, to the day she finally understood that the breakup was never the hard part — the relationship was. The song closes not in bitterness but in a quiet, earned clarity: don't forget what you are worth. It's a reminder as much for the listener as for the person who inspired it.

[Verse 1] I told you everything from the very start The parts of me that came apart before You held them like they mattered Now I'm not so sure Every night I cried where you couldn't see Said I was fine and you believed the lie Or maybe you just needed me to be

[Verse 2] December came with something you confessed You handed me the blame to make it fit I swallowed it, I carried it alone Did not tell a single soul like you had asked I kept your secret warm inside my chest While you were slowly coming undone, coming unmasked

[Pre-Chorus] My hair fell out in handfuls on the bathroom floor I shaved it clean, I thought I'd nothing left to lose And then one night the worst of it broke through the door You told me just to look for the bright side So I did I looked away from you

[Chorus] I forgave it all I gave you every bruised and open part of me Still it wasn't enough, no it wasn't enough Still you let me drown Every day I felt like I was going under I was drowning The breakup wasn't hard The relationship was I forgave it all Still

[Verse 3] Six weeks of silence — that's how love ends now A text about a break, a phone put down Then nothing Then your name gone from my feed Just limbo and the echo of a room Where I kept every promise that you made And you kept none

[Pre-Chorus] My hair fell out in handfuls on the bathroom floor I shaved it clean, I thought I'd nothing left to lose And then one night the worst of it broke through the door You told me just to look for the bright side So I did I looked away from you

[Chorus] I forgave it all I gave you every bruised and open part of me Still it wasn't enough, no it wasn't enough Still you let me drown Every day I felt like I was going under I was drowning The breakup wasn't hard The relationship was I forgave it all Still

[Bridge] You spent those months telling me how she hurt you While you already knew what you had done A special kind of cruelty Dressed in someone else's story And I believed every single one I shouldn't have to keep this quiet anymore I shouldn't have to disappear You never even had the courage for goodbye So I am saying mine right here

[Chorus] I forgave it all I gave you every bruised and open part of me Still it wasn't enough, no it wasn't enough Still you let me drown Every day I felt like I was going under I was drowning The breakup wasn't hard The relationship was I forgave it all Still

[Outro] Even if you forgive everything Even if you change and beg and bleed It doesn't matter They'll still break your heart So don't forget what you are worth Don't forget what you are worth
