Last Words Left Unsung

Yeah…

Sometimes I wonder what happens when the lights go out…

Would anybody remember the things I never said?

All these thoughts inside my head…

I've been fighting battles nobody ever sees,

Smiling in the daylight,

breaking underneath.

Got a thousand words that I could never say,

And a thousand memories I can't throw away.

I keep asking questions that don't have answers,

Life moves fast, but I'm stuck in disaster.

If tomorrow never comes,

would they understand?

That I tried my best with the cards in my hand.

I don't wanna be forgotten,

I just wanna be understood.

I've been trying to make things better,

Even when I know I should.

If I die someday,

remember my name, Remember I was human,

remember my pain. I wasn't always happy,

I wasn't always strong,

I was just trying to find where I belonged.

And if the world goes quiet,

let my story play,

I had so much left that I wanted to say.

I don't wanna disappear into the night,

I just wanna know that everything will be alright.

I think about the people that I've let down,

All the times I needed help but never made a sound.

I wish I could explain what's happening inside,

Without having to pretend that I'm alright.

Maybe one day I'll find some peace,

Maybe one day this weight will leave.

I'm still here, still trying to grow,

Even when I don't know which way to go.

Please don't wait until I'm gone,

To tell me that I mattered.

Don't wait until the final song,

To ask why I was sad.

(ahhhh) I'm still here…

I'm still breathing…

I still have dreams…

I still have reasons…

If I die someday,

remember my name,

But while I'm still here,

don't let me fade.

I wasn't always happy,

but I'm still holding on,

Still searching for a place where I belong.

I'm not just the mistakes I've made…

I'm not just the words I couldn't say…

I'm still here.

And maybe that's enough for today.
