Where

where were you all this while

when i lost my smile

when i was lost

when my heart got tossed.

 

when all the world walked away

left me alone to stay

when i was all alone

they turned my heart into stone.

 

when i felt my life been drawn out

all i did was scream and shout

with no one to hear me out

it left me short and stout.

 

everywhere i walked

no one ever talked

no one cared 

nor i even dared.

 

when i looked at the stars

and saw my scars 

when i thought to end it all

because i could not stand tall.
