Intro
I wasn’t asking you to save me…
I just needed to know I mattered.
I needed someone to stay
Before it all came crashing down…
Where were you?
Verse 1
Where were you when I needed you?
When I was barely making it through.
You pretend to care at my funeral,
Acting like your love was beautiful.
But where were you when I cried alone?
When the darkness made itself my home?
How come you were nowhere to be found,
Before my whole world came crashing down?
Pre-Chorus
I needed someone to reach for me,
To show me love, to help me breathe.
But silence echoed through the pain,
And I was left to face the rain.
Chorus
When it feels like nobody cares,
Not even your own family’s there.
The struggle is real and it’s killing me,
Stealing every breath that’s left in me.
Sometimes you can’t bear these burdens alone,
You need somebody to show there’s hope.
But the demons keep bearing down on you,
Sitting on your chest till you choke.
Verse 2
I wasn’t asking you to save my soul,
Just hold my hand when I lost control.
A single call, a simple “Are you okay?”
Could’ve helped me make it through another day.
Now you stand there saying you cared,
But love means nothing when it isn’t there.
You don’t get to mourn what you let fade,
Or grieve the choices that you never made.
Pre-Chorus
I needed someone to reach for me,
To show me love, to help me breathe.
But silence echoed through the pain,
And I was left to face the rain.
Chorus
When it feels like nobody cares,
Not even your own family’s there.
The struggle is real and it’s killing me,
Stealing every breath that’s left in me.
Sometimes you can’t bear these burdens alone,
You need somebody to show there’s hope.
But the demons keep bearing down on you,
Sitting on your chest till you choke.
Bridge
Don’t bring flowers when it’s too late,
Or cry beside a sealed-up fate.
If you love someone, don’t wait till the end,
Tell them now, be more than pretend.
Because some hearts break in silence,
And some battles no one sees.
Sometimes all it takes to save a life,
Is proving they’re not alone to grieve.
Final Chorus
When it feels like nobody cares,
And you’re drowning in despair,
Hold on even when hope feels gone,
Even when the night feels far too long.
These demons don’t get the final say,
And your story doesn’t end this way.
You are worth more than all your pain,
And someday you’ll breathe again.
Outro
So where were you when I needed you?
That’s the question I’ll never stop asking you.
