Still Here When the Lights Go Out

Описание: [Intro – quiet, reflective]
Yeah…
If you ever hear this,
Just know I tried to say it right.

[Verse 1]
I been talkin’ to ghosts in an empty room,
Tryna make sense of scars I never showed to you.
Mama said, “Boy, don’t carry all that blame,”
But the mirror keeps whisperin’ my name.

Bills on the table, dreams in the drawer,
Smilin’ for the crowd while I’m breakin’ at home.
They see the fire, they don’t feel the burn,
They love the rise but forget the hurt.

I learned how to laugh when I’m barely alive,
Learned how to love when it’s chaos inside.
If I ever sound cold, it’s ‘cause I froze in the rain,
Tryna shelter my heart from the weight of the pain.

[Pre-Chorus]
If I disappear inside my mind,
Just know I’m fightin’ demons you don’t find online.
I don’t need applause, I don’t need the throne,
Just someone who stays when the lights go low.

[Chorus]
I’d burn the whole world if it meant you’re safe,
Ride through the dark, yeah, I’ll take the blame.
Us against it all, yeah, we bleed, we sin,
But I’d lose myself just to find us again.

Love me at my worst, not my highlight reel,
When the crown feels heavy and the nights feel real.
If the sky falls down and the truth gets loud,
Promise me you’re still here when the lights go out.

[Verse 2]
We fight like war, then kiss like peace,
Break every rule just to feel relief.
Your past on your back, mine on my chest,
Two broken souls tryna build what’s left.

They say we toxic, say we too wild,
But they never saw us cry in the car at night.
They never heard prayers through a locked bathroom door,
Or watched us rebuild after hittin’ the floor.

I ain’t perfect, I got blood on my hands,
But I’ll stand in the fire if you need a man.
If the world turns fake and your friends turn cold,
I’ll be ten toes down, never lettin’ go.

[Bridge – emotional, stripped]
If I fall back into old habits,
If my anger talks before my heart does,
Just remember I was raised by survival,
Not love songs and halos.

I’m still learnin’, still growin’, still scared,
Still tryna be someone worth your prayers.
If my voice cracks, that’s the truth breakin’ through,
Every line I write is me reachin’ for you.

[Chorus – final, bigger]
I’d burn the whole world if it meant you’re safe,
Run through the storm, yeah, I’ll take the pain.
They can judge us, let ‘em talk their shit,
They ain’t built for a love like this.

Hold me close when my demons shout,
When my past comes back, when my faith runs out.
If the sky falls down and the truth gets loud,
Promise me you’re still here when the lights go out.

[Outro – soft]
This ain’t a fairy tale,
It’s a survival story.
And if you’re still here listening…
That means we made it another night.
