Where Were You?
Where were you
When the walls were closing in
I was all alone
Nowhere to start back up again
Falling deeper
And deeper
Becoming darker from within
Where were you when my eyes were full with tears
I was lying on the floor
With only sounds of death seeping into my ears
Where were you
You promised you would be here
You were my salvation
My salvation that never came
Your promises mean nothing
Your love is covered up by your shame
So where were you
You promised
Promised to keep me alive
Promised to laugh when I laughed
Promised to cry when I cried
Promises are never true
I guess the truth is really just a lie
