where were you when they were taking hostages?
where were you when my life fell apart?
where were you when they decided I’d gone far enough?
where were you when I was broken?

you were only there when I was whole
I was only whole because you were there

where were you when I was bleeding?
where were you when it hurt like hell?
where were you when I fell off?
where were you when I needed you most?

you were only there when I was clean
I was only clean because you were there

where were you when I was making mistakes?
where were you when they had it in for me?
where were you when I lost all hope?
where were you when the voices ******* tore me apart?

you were only there when I was alive
I was only alive because you were there

where were you when they were taking hostages?
where are you now?

you were only there because I was there
I was only there because you were there

I’m only here now because you’re not
