Why Weren't You There

[Intro] The b**t drops heavy, the bass shakes the floor—but the weight in these words? That's what hurts more. Let's go. [Verse 1] All I ask is for some happiness, a reason to keep moving forward All I want is to know why you weren’t there when I needed you to be I kept the faith, kept the door cracked, waited in the cold But every time I turned around, you were already gone, told [Chorus] So, so tell me why you weren’t there, tell me wasn’t I enough for you And what about brother, was he the one you chose to hold onto? I don't need the world, just a sign that I mattered But your silence left my heart scattered [Verse 2] Tell me, are you still broken inside? That’s what people tell That you were never there is cause of your brokenness, oh well I get it, pain leaves cracks, but so does love Why couldn’t you let me be the one to lift you up above? [Bridge] Night after night, I replay the scene You turned your back, left me in between But now I'm standing in the light, no longer blind I'm still asking, but I'm leaving the hurt behind [Chorus] So, so tell me why you weren’t there, tell me wasn’t I enough for you And what about brother, was he the one you chose to hold onto? I don't need the world, just a sign that I mattered But your silence left my heart scattered [Outro] The b**t fades, the question stays But I'm done waiting for yesterday I'll keep moving forward, find my own peace Even if your reasons never release
