Still Gone

A song about #grief Hard Emo Verse 1 (soft, fragile) You died I can’t accept you’re gone I cried… I cry still holding on No matter who still cares No matter who’s still here They’re not you… They’re not you I said goodbye But I still break inside I can’t accept you’re gone I replay every line ⸻ Pre-Chorus (building tension) And when I try to breathe, I feel you missing And when I try to heal, it just won’t stay Everyone says time will make it better But time just takes you further away ⸻ Chorus (full band, emotional release) I’m not okay—don’t tell me I will be My heart still beats in broken memories And everyone’s moved on but I still bleed I’m stuck between what was and what won’t be You’re still alive inside my pain Still calling out your name If this is healing, why does it feel the same? I’m not okay… I’m not okay ⸻ Verse 2 (more intensity) And when I believe… Will it heal my grief? When my heart still knows What my eyes can’t see Everyone’s over it but me Everyone’s tired of my tears So I hide behind “I’m fine” While I’m drowning in these years ⸻ Pre-Chorus (bigger) And every smile feels like I’m faking Every word feels like a lie If healing means I leave you behind Then I don’t want to say goodbye ⸻ Chorus (bigger, layered vocals) I’m not okay—don’t tell me I will be My heart still beats in broken memories And everyone’s moved on but I still bleed I’m stuck between what was and what won’t be You’re still alive inside my pain Still screaming out your name If this is healing, why does it feel the same? I’m not okay… I’m not okay ⸻ Bridge (stripped → explosive, add hope tension) (soft) If I let go… do I lose you? If I move on… do I choose to Forget your voice, your face, your light? I’m holding on with all my life (build) But if You’re real—if You still see me Hold what’s left of what used to be Don’t take their memory away Just teach my shattered heart to stay (scream) I DON’T WANT TO FORGET YOU I DON’T WANT TO LET GO IF HEALING MEANS I LOSE YOU THEN I DON’T WANT TO KNOW ⸻ Final Chorus (biggest, emotional peak) I’m not okay—but maybe I can be If love outlives these broken memories If you’re still more than what I can’t see Then you’re not gone… you’re just beyond me You’re still alive inside my pain But it won’t stay the same Maybe one day I’ll breathe again… (not fully resolved) I’m not okay… But I’m not the same
