Still Here

(sighing) I've always been the one who's fine

The one who says,

"I'm doing fine"

I smile, I laugh,

I let things be

But does anybody notice me?

I love him more than words can say

I'd stand beside him every day

But sometimes I wish

someone could see

That I'm still here...

and I'm still me

And what about me?

Can't you see I'm trying?

I'm holding on while I'm quietly crying

I don't want the spotlight,

I don't need the fame I just want

someone to remember

my name

I know everyone needs him...

(ahhhh) But sometimes...

I need someone, too

I can love him

and still feel alone

I can be strong and still want a home

Where somebody asks if I'm doing

okay Not just if

I'm getting through another day

I'm more than the sister

standing nearby...

I'm Via. And I'm still here.
