Verse 1
I was born to silence, no lullaby,
No gentle arms to quiet my cry.
An empty cradle, a hollow room,
A child of longing, a life of wounds.
Pre-Chorus
I keep searching shadows for a trace of you,
But the answers fade like they always do.
Chorus
Where are you now, the mother I never held?
The father whose story nobody tells?
I’m haunted by questions I can’t outrun,
Why was I chosen to be the undone?
Where are you now, where did you go?
All I have left is a need to know.
Verse 2
I trace my skin for the shape of your face,
But all I find is an empty space.
A name I carry, but it feels untrue,
A broken mirror—was it me or you?
Pre-Chorus
Do you ever wonder if I’m alive?
Do you close your eyes and feel me inside?
Chorus
Where are you now, the mother I never held?
The father whose story nobody tells?
I’m haunted by questions I can’t outrun,
Why was I chosen to be the undone?
Where are you now, where did you go?
All I have left is a need to know.
Bridge
Am I your secret, your shadow, your sin?
A memory buried so deep within?
Would you know my voice if you heard me call,
Or would you pretend I was nothing at all?
Chorus
Where are you now, the mother I never held?
The father whose story nobody tells.
I’m still that child, crying through the years,
Calling your name through a river of tears.
Where are you now, where did you go?
All I have left is a need to know.
Outro
The mother I never held…
The father I’ll never know…
The mother I never held…
And the ache won’t let me go.
