I made it through

(Verse 1)

Where were you
When the lights went out
When there was fear and doubt
When courage ran away from me
Where were you

Where was I
When the train rolled on
In a place unknown
No familiar voices calling me
Where was I

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

Every night felt like a question
No one stayed to hear
Every promise turned to echo
Disappearing in the air

⸻

(Chorus)

You weren’t there
When I needed you most
When the silence filled the room

You weren’t there
When the world got real
At the edge of coming loose

I was reaching through the dark
Hoping you would pull me through

But you weren’t there
When I needed you

⸻

(Verse 2)

Where were you
When the nights ran long
And the will felt gone
And the ground beneath me shook again
Where were you

Where was I
Trying to hold the line
Between heart and pride
Learning how to breathe alone again
Where was I

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2)

Every step felt like a verdict
Every day a test
Every memory of you
Like a weight upon my chest

⸻

(Chorus)

You weren’t there
When I needed you most
When the silence filled the room

You weren’t there
When the world got real
At the edge of coming loose

I was reaching through the dark
Hoping you would pull me through

But you weren’t there
When I needed you

⸻

(Bridge – Indie rock lift)

And maybe love
Is just a word we say
Until the storm arrives

Maybe hearts
Reveal themselves
When something breaks inside

⸻

(Final Chorus – resolution)

You weren’t there
When I needed you most
When the night refused to move

You weren’t there
When I needed hope
More than something left to prove

I kept walking through the dark
Till the morning finally grew

You weren’t there
But I made it through
Mm mmmm mmm mmm mmm

I made it through

Indie rock, steady drums, chiming guitars, rising chorus, theme of abandonment, resilience, reflection, sing a long
