  • Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
    And so you fight to keep from pouring out
    But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
    Do you think that there's enough you might drown?

    If no one will listen
    If you decide to speak
    If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
    If no one wants to look at you
    For what you really are
    I will be here still

    No one can take you where you alone must go
    There's no telling what you will find there
    And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
    It's screaming every step, "Just stay here?

    If no one will listen
    If you decide to speak
    If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
    If no one wants to look at you
    For what you really are
    I will be here still

    If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
    If your legs have given out under the weight
    If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
    So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate

    If no one will listen
    If you decide to speak
    If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
    If no one wants to look at you
    For what you really are
    I will be here still

    If no one will listen
    If you decide to speak
    If no one is left standing after the bombs explode
    If no one wants to look at you
    For what you really are
    I will be here still

    I will be here still Writer/s: Keri Noble

  • Chérie from Las Vegas, NvKeri Noble Is NOT from Texas! She's a spanish girl from Detroit. She now lives in Minneapolis, MN- a far cry from Texas. You can check her out on my space- great writer- same producer as Norah Jones.
  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnKelly sounds like Celine Dion in this song.
  • Trever from Syracuse, NyThis song is amazing! I have never heard the original version by the artist Keri Noble....But kelly Clarkson Did an amazing job on this song!!!! This out of all of her slow songs this is my favorite! This could be one of her next single!
