Lyrics:
How can I be found
If I don’t know where I am?
How can I start over
When I don’t know where to begin?
I had a place to call home
But I’d never felt so lost
A picture perfect life of lying
And they didn’t know that I was dying
See, I left everything behind
A husband I could call mine - kind of
And that’s a problem
And yeah, everybody’s got 'em
But
I’m not one to up and quit
And I got tired of faking it
Escaped into the night just...
To finally be the girl who says
Yes to what she feels instead
No more breaking into pieces on the ground
I have heard that there's a light in me
Like mighty fire that’s burning free
So I’ll chase it till the day my heart stops beating
They can wish that I would die - But I’m still breathing
No matter what the cost…
I don’t wanna feel lost
Who am I alone?
Well, I guess I’m finding out.
'Cuz I feel like I'm a feather floating
Just spinning ‘round, and never knowing…
My father showed me anger
From a darkness deep inside
And my mother, sweet as pretty a flower
With no voice to stand up to his power
See, Dad taught me to fall in line
To pray and let my “light shine” - kind of
And that’s a problem
And yeah, everybody’s got ‘em
But
I couldn’t take another hit
From his religion or his fist
Escaped to the night just…
To finally be the girl who says
Yes to what she feels instead
No more breaking into pieces on the ground
I have heard that there's a light in me
Like mighty fire that’s burning free
So I’ll chase it till the day my heart stops beating
They can wish that I would die - But I’m still breathing
No matter what the cost...
I don’t wanna feel
Lost inside
The what if I…
Should’ve i…
Could’ve i done it?
'Cuz a wife is taught to be quiet
So I tried to stay,
But i couldn’t fight it
I thought if I was saved -
And I obeyed things would be perfect
But the lying just isn’t worth it, when you’re hurting
And don’t deserve it
It feels worthless - but maybe
It’s worth it
If I could
Finally be the girl who says
Yes to what she feels instead
No more breaking into pieces on the ground
I have heard that there's a light in me
Like mighty fire that’s burning free
So I’ll chase it till the day my heart stops beating
They can wish that I would die - but I’m still breathing
They can wish that I would die - but I’m still breathing
No matter what the cost…
I don’t wanna feel lost
I don’t wanna feel lost

This is absolutely stunning love. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to see how far this musical goes. I know it will be amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Water finds it's all level, cream rises to the top. Like you and your wonderful wife.
I love your love so much 😢❤️
Can anyone else imagine how much greater this song will be with a full orchestra?? Cannot wait for more music from this Evynne!!
Thanks so much JJ. We're thrilled with the response so far!
You and Peter are going to kill it on Broadway!!!! Can't wait to hear more of your majestic voices!!
"No matter what the cost, I don't want to feel lost." I feel like this speaks to my soul. I so hope I get the chance to see this show!! I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world! The world needs people like you who challenge the world and follow their dreams!!!
The most heartfelt thing you've ever done! We are in awe
Thanks so much you guys! So glad you liked our first song in Milagro!
I'm so happy to see that you're able to "be the girl who says yes" to your dreams! This was so beautiful and REAL. Can't wait to follow you on your journey with Milagro!
Thank you so much Salam. We so appreciate the support!
Unbelievable, It's not just the voice, but the staccato phrasing, the altering between voice and song. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. The difficult tempo is perfect, the careful breathing, the sighing. The bitter laughter, the poignant pauses, the rueful phrasing. The song is so HARD, rough and stark. If it doesn't bring a tear, there is truly something wrong with you.
I love your voice Evynne!!!Love this song! 😍😍😍
That's a sad yet beautiful song, Evynne. Anna Gilbert can really write 'em, sigh. I lost myself in there for awhile.
Broadway bound? Whoo, way to go!!
Today I listened to Peter's performance of "I'm Still Here," and the word "still" made me remember that his wife once released a song with that word that I recalled being something quite special. Returning here now, I can see again why this song and this performance left that lasting impression. Peter once did a neat promotion where people covered his wonderful Christmas song. I'd love to see this song get that same exposure. This song shakes me.
Awe...Evynne, what a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing and to Anna Gilbert for writing it.
I am in tears. Anna Gilbert wrote such a great song and you delivered it so beautifully!
Thank you Julie. We're glad you like our first song from Milagro!
So beautiful, Evynne! This was amazing! Sooo excited for you to be on Broadway soon ;)
Yes, we are thrilled and so grateful! Thank you!
As a Latin woman, I can’t wait to listen to the musical!!!!! I have been such a huge fan of yours for years!! I’m so so proud of you and everything you do!!!! ❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Still listening after more than a month... and everytime is a splendid new discovery. No doubts that you'll be back on Broadway soon after this holiday experience ;)
Sweet Evonne, you have no idea how your voice and the music and lyrics have wildly changed our lives. You have given us words to articulate how we often feel.Poverty of language is a huge barrier to feeling seen, heard, and understood, and this song gives me those precious gifts. As a person with a h/o CSA, we often feel like we're free falling with no net, and your music makes us feel so subjectively-held. We've shared this song with friends, our therapist, peers from support groups, fellow survivors, etc. Keep singing - you're changing lives. The Butterfly Effect is real 🦋
Evynne you are simply AMAZING.
I'm so excited to see more of this musical!! Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration Evynne.
anyone else come back like 20 times a day to rewatch this?
Evynne Hollens and Peter Hollens Congrats for getting this far in your careers. I'm sure being on Broadway will be an awesome experience for both of you.
Such an obviously heartfelt song, it cannot be ignored. You have a beautiful way of singing this, and Anna did such an honest way of writing this, you both deserve so much success. I want to know the rest of the story, and hope this song takes you both so far. Well done :)
I have lost count of how many time's I've listened to this, it's amazing!

I don't know how anyone could dislike this beautiful masterpiece. You are a wonder, Evynne.
Amazing job Evynne! I'm actually a vocal magnet student at my school and your vocal training videos I use as reference to warm up the class. I even use them for my practice. I currently don't take voice lessons but I hope too. You are so amazing 😊😊😊

Wow! This is such a beautiful, sad song and I have a tear in my eye. Thank you so much Evynne for sharing this with us! You nailed it! Nigel
Thanks so much Nigel! Glad you liked it!
Man, this song is so emotional, and powerful! And you sang it so beautifully, Evynne!
Just like always, it's utterly incredible. It's easy to take this quality for granted, actually. I really wish I could afford to visit New York and watch Milagro, but regardless, I'm sure it'll be great. Thank heavens we live in an age where this kind of magic can reach across the pond to France.
Well, we're just at the beginning stages of writing Milagro. In a perfect world, maybe we can perform it in France someday.
Amazing as usual, Evynne
This is so truly amazing. I look at the lyrics to sing along. So much emotion and feel in it as well, ah!
What a gorgeous song!! Beautiful!
You sing this so beautifully. Every time I hear it, it makes me cry. What a performance!
Just a simply beautiful song. Pure, powerful, perfect.
WOW. So real. So moving. Can't wait to hear more from this! I'm addicted already!
Such a beautiful song 💗
Fantastic music, lyrics and vocals…. On to broadway❤
Just beautiful, Evynne.
Wonderful. ❤️😊
I'm realy happy for the video! I love it! Congratulations Evynne!! Greetings from México!!
Wow. Really, just wow. If this is just one of the songs from the musical, I cannot wait to hear the rest.
I can't wait either, Kanti. Thanks.
Awesome!!!
Congratulations on making it to Broadway! You're both amazing!
And this song is just incredible. The lyrics were powerful and Evynne, you sound just like a dream.
With supporters like you, we look forward to Broadway and whatever follows. Thanks, Ronin.
This is amazing! Already the musical seems great, if only from this song! I can't wait to see more, and congrats about Broadway!!
Thank you so much Adam! A lot of exciting things happening these days!
This is so beautiful, i absolutely love it!
Your singing is wonderful and inspiring.
Best yet, Kid!
Amazing song. I love the emotion you put into it. Great voice.
Evynne, this is STUNNING. ❤ Anna has such a beautiful talent and you executed it wonderfully. 😍
Came here from your most recent song from MILAGRO and sheesh. This hit me hard. I'm in this phase of life right now where I'm changing constantly and life is changing and it's so scary. But I'm slowly figuring out who I am and what I want. This song was that for me. This song truly hit the deepest part of my soul and I'm going to play it on repeat for a long, long while. Good luck on your musical, Evynne! I can't wait to see it!
Oh so lovely!
Surpasses my expectations as always, absolutely beautiful vocals, and a really good song! You’re gonna go a long way with thisss!!!
We hope so!!!! Thanks for the support Daniel!
