Still Here

Intro

(oh-oh, mama)

Verse

Empty bottles by the sink again

You said this time would be the end

But the needle calls louder than my name

I’m still waiting by the window frame

Chorus

Mama’s high, high, high

Flying where I can’t reach

Mama’s gone, gone, gone

Leaving me with these empty streets

I still love you, love you, love you

Even when the lights go dim

Mama’s high, high, high

But I’m still here, still here, still here

Verse

Your hands used to braid my hair so tight

Now they shake when you try to hold me right

I learned to cook before I learned to read

You’re chasing ghosts while I’m planting seeds

Chorus

Mama’s high, high, high

Flying where I can’t reach

Mama’s gone, gone, gone

Leaving me with these empty streets

I still love you, love you, love you

Even when the lights go dim

Mama’s high, high, high

But I’m still here, still here, still here

Bridge

Some nights I scream at the ceiling fan

Asking why you chose the needle over holding my hand

But the truth cuts deeper than any song

I can’t save you, mama, I can only stay strong

Chorus

Mama’s high, high, high

Flying where I can’t reach

Mama’s gone, gone, gone

Leaving me with these empty streets

I still love you, love you, love you

Even when the lights go dim

Mama’s high, high, high

But I’m still here, still here, still here
