Who Was There When I Was Gone?

Who was there when I was gone? Running from pain, a childhood gone wrong Who was there when I was gone? Abandoned soul, silent tears to fall Who was there when I was gone? A ghost of a mother sleepwalking through it all Who was there when I was gone? Watching me stumble and trying to belong Who was there when I was gone? Living in fear, hiding behind walls Who was there when I was gone? Weakness prevailing, yearning to be strong You were there waiting for me Knowing my pain, praying for relief You were there waiting for me Comforting soul, my heart to see You were there waiting for me Hanging on while I was asleep You were there waiting for me I was still there you always believed You were there waiting for me To open my heart and set it free You were there waiting for me Tender soul always loving me Who was there when I was gone? You were there waiting for me…
