Where were you? when I had sleepless night, days without food a baby on my side,
Where were you? when I lost my faith I don't go down on my knees and pray again,
Where were you? when I fought for my life when he had his hands around my throat and the knife held between my thighs.
Where were you? when I screamed your name, help me please! don't go away..
The tears stained my eyes my lips are so dry I can hear my heart beat pounding through my chest.
Where were you? when I took overdose to end my life from so much pain inside.
Now I'm just a memory looking on every sad face that crying to my story.
I'm gone no longer here wish I never did it but it's too late, I will no longer hold my baby or kiss her sweet cheeks, I will no longer cry to sleep or get angry or feel defeated.
Down below in a box i will be for eternity and my daughter grew up and visit me,
Such anger she felt has she spoke asking why I left her so cold, all I could do is just listen to her sad voice that I'm missing,
I've left her but now she grown with anger against me but love she had found she told me goodbye and that she love me even thou I'm gone but she still don't understand my action.
My thought are no more it's now final that I have to drift off to the unknown.
