I walked down the halls, head held low
Smiles around me, but they don't show
The cracks inside, the secrets I keep
Promises broken, I barely sleep

I thought you'd stay, I thought you'd care
Now I'm just standing, lost somewhere
All the words we said, they fade away
Left me wondering, night and day

Where were you when I needed someone?
I'm screaming silent, nowhere to run
All the trust I gave, it slipped like sand
I'm just a kid with a heart in my hands

Laughing faces, but none for me
I tried to fit, but they couldn't see
The lonely nights, the endless fight
Trying to find what's wrong and right

I thought you'd stay, I thought you'd care
Now I'm just standing, lost somewhere
All the words we said, they fade away
Left me wondering, night and day

Where were you when I needed someone?
I'm screaming silent, nowhere to run
All the trust I gave, it slipped like sand
I'm just a kid with a heart in my hands

Maybe one day I'll understand
Why the world can't always lend a hand
But for now I'll cry, but I'll survive
Learn to be stronger, stay alive

Where were you when I needed someone?
I'm screaming silent, nowhere to run
All the trust I gave, it slipped like sand
I'm just a kid with a heart in my hands
