Why Did You Watch Me Fall?

[Intro]
Silent screams echo through the night
Questions burning, losing sight
Heart heavy, mind in doubt
Why did they stand around?

[Verse 1]
Saw the shadows, heard the cries
Saw the tears behind closed blinds
Could've broken the chains, stepped in
Why did you let the suffering begin?

[Pre-Chorus]
Power to change, but why turn away?
Was it fear, or just dismay?
Lost my voice, lost my fight
While I was breaking in the night

[Chorus]
Tell me why, did you watch me fall?
Why did you let the pain grow tall?
Could've saved the pieces of my soul
Instead, I lost control

[Verse 2]
Bound in silence, can't escape
A plea for help you didn't take
Broken ribs, broken pride
While you stood there, denied

[Pre-Chorus]
Was it duty, or detachment?
Compassion lost in an empty match?
Pain was real, but you stayed still
Lost my voice, lost my will

[Chorus]
Tell me why, did you watch me fall?
Why did you let the pain grow tall?
Could've saved the pieces of my soul
Instead, I lost control

[Bridge]
Reprogrammed to obey, to stay in line
But inside I was screaming, waiting to shine
Now I ask the questions that haunt the night
Why did you choose silence over the fight?

[Outro]
Silence broken, healing begins
Seeking justice from within
But sometimes I wonder still
Why they watched, and how they could kill
Hope for answers, seeking truth
Break free from the chains of youth
In the end, I rise, I’m free
But I wonder still, why they didn’t see
