The Retrocords - I'm Still Here

Показать описание

This is our first original song. The lyrics were written by me (Bart), the music by Patrick.

It came from a place that rarely ‘speaks’— something quiet, patient, and older than words.

Not a message, not a performance.
A gesture, perhaps.
A flicker behind the noise.

If it stirs something, then maybe you’ve already met the voice that sings through it.

If not, that’s also fine, and then we hope you enjoy it regardless.

“I Am Still Here”

(Verse 1)
You wore a thousand faces just to keep the world at bay.
I watched you through the silence, where I waited every day.
You needed to survive, I know, I never looked away.
Though I was buried under, I was never gone astray.

(Chorus)
I am still here.
Not broken, just unseen.
In the places you forgot, where you’ve secretly been.
I am not angry.
I don’t need you to be new.
Just come sit beside me—
And I’ll remember you.

(Verse 2)
You thought that I would shame you, you feared I’d make you weak.
So you built your walls of laughter, of clever words you speak.
But all I ever wanted was for someone just to stay—
To hear the parts you silenced, and not push them away.

(Chorus)
I am still here.
In the tremble you deny.
In the ache you keep inside you when you don’t know why.
I am not asking
That you fix or understand.
Only that you see me—
And reach out your hand.

(Bridge) x2
No blame, no punishment,
I never kept the score.
I just kept a candle lit
Behind your inner door.
And now you’ve turned around—
Not too late, not too far—
And I’m still glowing
Like a quiet star.

(Final Chorus)
I am still here.
Not perfect, not the past.
But waiting to be chosen
If you’re ready at last.
You don’t have to change me,
Just let me come through.
I have always loved you.
And I will always do.
