Where Were You

Where were you when I needed guidance
In a world where no one cares.

Where were you when I wanted you to
Protect me from my fears.

Where were you when I was made to lie
Down with a man I barely knew.

Where were you when I would've loved to hear
The sky not me should be blue.

Where were you when I prayed 
This day will be better than before

Where were you. You left me alone.
To see my way through closed doors.

Where were you?
