Still Here Lyrics

I know one day

We all disappear

I know I can't hide

Behind all my tears

I have your smile

It's from ear to ear

When I look in the mirror

These questions appear

For all of these moments

Through all these years

What would they be like

If you were still here

Would you tell me be strong

Even when I'm all wrong

Would you keep me near

If you were still here

I've heard some stories

The good bad and the ugly

Ever had to question

If you would even love me

My half older sister

Said you were her pops

And that's kinda man you were

Your loving just don't stop

Even trading me on weekends

When you and Ma was barely speaking

Or at each other's throats

Just ready to attack

Y'all both prolly said some things

That you wish you could take back

But I heard you felt real love

In spite of all of that

I heard from my older sis

Family and your boys

You and mom was making music

Not just random noise

The kinda love you fall in

But would be your first choice

You'll always be apart of her

I hear it in her voice

She told me about that breakfast

Woke her up at three am

But I don't know if she'll ever know

That type love again

They say I look like you

Like Justin where you been

Man you looking like your daddy

When he became a man

Man you looking like your daddy

When he became a man

For all of these moments

Through all these years

What would they be like

If you were still here

Would you tell me be strong

Even when I'm all wrong

Would you keep me near

If you were here

I know you'd probably tell me

To live life to the fullest

Before you get wise son

You have to be foolish

That how you grow dad

That's means that you learn

I promise every scar I have

Is one that I earned

If you were here now

I know you'd be so proud

You cheer so damn loud

That you'd drown out every crowd

And I remember your face

In a casket so cold

I was just a boy

Just four years old

I've imagined stories

That'll never be told

I'm just grateful I know

That this life that I hold

Is more precious than gold

So I have to be bold

Before I drop this body

And lighten my load

I know one day

I'll just disappear

Can't spend all my time

Wondering if you were here

Goodbye dad
