Where was I when you sang in tears? When stomachaches gripped you alone Where was I when you stared at me And my eyes looked through, never there I expected your anger and misconception But where was I to help you understand? Can time be a viable reason and reflection To never show platitudes for all of those years? I accept the sting from your diatribes Even now, when regression has passed Where was I to truly hold your heart? When I couldn't take your love to mine? No simple terms of apology Could replace what I had taken No gesture to heal, or to forget And I know you have more inspiration Where was I when my heart healed? Still alone and shedding regret Where will you be during all of it? I hope living life to your fullest
