Never thought you'd be like
that be like that ooohh
What you do in life comes right
back comes right back ooohh
Baby Im still here
im still here im still here
Baby Im still here
im still here ooohh
Never thought you'd be like
that be like that ooohh
What you do in life
comes right back
comes right back ooohh
Baby Im still here
im still here im still here
Baby Im still here
im still here ooohh
I used to look into your eyes
and think
That you were the one
that was meant for me
Everything that you would say
i believed it
You munipulated me
did it so creatively
Slowly took away from me
most of my integrity
Used to say that i could be
Everything and all you need
Started doing little things back
then i couldnt see
But now that the rain is gone
yes im still here
And I see you
for who you are
And youre not far
from the devil babe
So I pack my heart
and run away
So far away
Yes Im still here
They use to tell me
i was nothing
and couldnt make it there
And so i made and they hated
cuz im staying here
I put my trust
into my faith everyday
With all the blood
and sweat and tears
All the passion all the years
Now its crowds
and love and cheers
No more crying no more fear
Used to cry myself to sleep
thinking it could never be
Then I pick myself up
and stood on my two feet
And now
that the rain is gone
yes im still here
And I see you
for who you are
And you're not far
from the devil babe
So I pack my heart
and run away
So far away
Yeah
And youre not far
from the devil babe
So I pack my heart
and run away
So far away
HEY YEAH
Ohhh
Said Im still here
Im still here heyyy
Said Im still here
Said Im still here
And I aint going nowhere
ooohhh
ooohhh
hey hey hey
Said Im still here
