don't let em tell you what its all about
im right beside you dreamin you can do without
i know you will but we've never met
always the same, always a safe bet
i know whats happenin i've seen it before
uninvited i'll be comin to your back door
and lock all your windows, hide under your bed
i hear you breathin i know you're there
you can turn off the light
you can turn off your mind
you can shut me out

(chorus)
but i'll still be here
i'll still be here
you can tune me out and try to shut me down
but i'll still be here

you wanna see things all the same
why don't you see things in color for a change
im waitin, listenin, tryin to walk in your shoes
they walk a straight line, such a straight line
i'll drop my fences if you drop your guard
meet me on the front porch stop hiding in your backyard
unlock your windows come out from the bed
your tv's blowin i know you're there
you can turn it around
till you like how it sounds
you can turn me off

(chorus)
but i'll still be here
i'll still be here
you can turn me down but i'll just shout it out
i'll still be here
ohhh

who could wait in empathy
i do love without sympathy
and who's gonna be the one to speak for me

i'll still be here
i'll still be here
still be here
i'll still be here
i'll still be here
i'll still be here
i'll still be here
i'll still be here
uh huh uh uh huh uh huh
i said ill be here
baby like it or not
ohhhhhh
