Verse riff

Verse 1

W/ VERSE RIFF)

I found the pieces in my hand

They were always there It just took some time for me to understand

You gave me words I just can't say

So if nothing else I'll just hold on while you drift away

Pre-chorus 1

Cause everything you wanted me to hide

Is everything that makes me feel alive

Chorus

The cities grow

The rivers flow

Where you are, I never know

 But I'm still here

 If you were right and

I was wrong

Why are you the one who's gone

 And I'm still here

 I'm still here

Verse 2

W/ VERSE RIFF)

You've seen the ashes in my heart

You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart

I tried to wear another face

Just to make you proud, just to make you put me in my place

Pre-chorus 2

But everything you wanted from me

Is everything that I could never be

Chorus

The cities grow

The rivers flow

Where you are, I never know

 But I'm still here

 If you were right and

I was wrong

Why are you the one who's gone

 And I'm still here

 I'm still here

And I'm still here

Bridge

Maybe tonight, it's gonna be alright

 I will get better

Maybe today , it's gonna be okay

 I will remember

Verse 3

W/ VERSE RIFF UNTIL FINAL G )

I held the pieces of my soul

I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole

Then I saw you yesterday

 but you didn't notice, you just walked away

Pre-chorus 3

Cause everything you wanted me to hide

Is everything that makes me feel alive

Chorus

I was wrong

Why are you the one who's gone

 And I'm still here

Outro chorus

 The lights go out

 the bridges burn

Once you're gone, you can't return

 But I'm still here

Remember how

 You used to say

 I'd be the one to run away

 But I'm still here

 I'm still here

I'm still here
