I found the pieces in my hand 
They were always there 
It just took some time to understand 
You gave me words I just can't say 
So if nothing else 
I'll hold on while you drift away 
Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
Is everything that makes me feel alive 

Cities grow 
Rivers flow 
Where you are, I'll never know 
But I'm still here 
If you were right and I was wrong 
Why are you the one that's gone 
I'm still here 
Still here 

Seeing the ashes in my heart 
The smile the widest 
When I cry inside and my insides blow apart 
I tried to wear another face 
Just to make you proud 
Just to make you put me in my place 
But everything you wanted to take from me 
Is everything that I could never be 

Cities grow 
Rivers flow 
Where you are, I'll never know 
But I'm still here 
If you were right and I was wrong 
Why are you the one that's gone 
I'm still here 

Maybe tonight 
It's gonna be alright 
I will get better 
Maybe today 
It's gonna be okay 
I will remember 

I held the pieces of my soul 
I was shattered and I wanted you to come and make me whole 
When I saw you yesterday 
But you didn't noticed 
And you just walked away 
Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
Is everything that makes me feel alive 

Cities grow 
Rivers flow 
Where you are, I'll never know 
But I'm still here 
If you were right and I was wrong 
Why are you the one who's gone 
And I'm still here 
The lights go out, the bridges burn 
Once you're gone, you can't return 
I'm still here 
Remember how you use to say I'd be the one to runaway 
But I'm still here
