Intro
“i swear it happened…
(breath)
but no one believed me.”
Verse 1
I told the truth, but truth ain’t loud
(too quiet…)
When you’re shaking soft and he’s standing proud.
They look at him — all calm, all clean,
While I’m replaying what he did to me. (again…)
Bruises fade but memory stays,
Hidden under long sleeves and longer days.
I tried to speak, my voice fell flat — (fell flat…)
They asked for proof, tell me —
who records that?
Pre-chorus
I said “stop,” I said “please…”
(please…)
But fear don’t photograph easily.
He said “I’d never,” he played it sweet —
(sure…)
And suddenly I’m the one on trial, on repeat.
Chorus
Where were you
(…where?)
when I was crying in the dark?
Where were you
when his hands left their mark?
You want pictures, videos,
a perfect little scene —
But the worst things he did
went silent, went unseen. (unseen…)
So don’t ask me why I stayed,
why I didn’t scream or run —
You weren’t there when he broke me —
(broke me…)
you just believe the calm one.
Verse 2
They say, “If it’s real, then why no scars?”
(scars fade…)
But healing hides more than it ever guards.
They say, “Why’d you stay? Why didn’t you go?”
Like trauma’s a choice — like I asked for the blow.
Flashbacks hit like a midnight train,
(midnight…)
His voice still crawls through my veins.
But in the room where I told what I survived,
They looked at him like the victim —
and me like I lied.
Pre-chorus
I said “stop,” I said “no…”
(no…)
But pain ain’t evidence they wanna know.
He said “I’d never,” calm and slow —
And their doubts hit harder than his final blow.
Chorus
Where were you
when I curled up on the floor?
Where were you
when I couldn’t take more?
You want timestamps, stories,
details dressed in light —
But trauma blurs the edges
when you’re trying to survive night.
So don’t ask me why I froze,
(froze…)
why my voice came undone —
You weren’t there when he hurt me —
(hurt me…)
you just trust the loud one.
Bridge
They say “no charges,”
like that means I’m fine.
Like justice is simple,
like healing’s a line.
“It’s your word against his,”
yeah, I’ve heard it before — (too many times…)
Tell me why truth needs witnesses
to matter anymore?
And he says “I didn’t do it,”
(you did…)
like that erases what I know…
He walks free with steady breath —
steady…
I’m still trying to let go.
Chorus
Where were you
when my world fell apart?
Where were you
when he shattered my heart?
You wanted proof —
but some truth bleeds inside.
Some battles happen quietly
where no one can hide.
So don’t ask me why I stayed,
why I didn’t scream or run —
You weren’t there when it happened —
(no you weren’t…)
you just listen to the wrong one.
Outro
i know what happened…
(I know…)
even if no one else does.
and that’s enough.
Beexii
