Say I Was Here

[sg1-eva-me-ce-laca-01-06] [LS.v3.3.2026.0718R] [Verse 1] I said your name out loud just to hear it, watched it vanish before it reached the door. Your hands were steady when you let go, mine stayed closed around what wasn’t there. Are you still watching me? Did I leave anything behind? [Chorus] What proof do I need to exist? Say I was here and not just passing through. Say I was here— don’t tell me I’ve faded. [Verse 2] The room still breathes but won’t take me in, every corner rubbed thin by the same old fight. If you listen close, you might hear my last word caught in my teeth where shame kept it. What am I if they don’t remember? What are you if I keep calling? [Chorus] What proof do I need to exist? Say I was here and not just passing through. Say I was here— don’t tell me I’ve faded. [Bridge] They write their lines and leave me outside them. My name looks small when nobody says it. I can’t bring us back. I can’t stop asking. [Final Chorus] What proof do I need to exist? Say I was here and not just passing through. Say I was here— don’t tell me I’ve faded. Say I was here— before you let me disappear. [end]
