[Verse 1] You weren't there to see The person I've come to be Free from your shadow, soaring high Through mistakes and victories, I learned to fly [Verse 2] You weren't there to see me rise Grow up strong, fierce, and wise You turned your back, walked away Left your forgotten child to find their own way [Chorus] Who was there to hold me when I fell? Who was there to guide, who could tell? Standing all alone, I faced my fears While you just turned aside, deaf to my tears [Verse 3] You weren't there to witness my stride Each little step, taken with pride You missed the moments, quiet but true When I succeeded, grew, all without you [Bridge] I stood tall, I faced the storm Dried my tears, took on every form You weren't there, but I found my light Through these lonely years, I won my fight [Chorus] Who was there to hold me when I fell? Who was there to guide, who could tell? Standing all alone, I faced my fears While you just turned aside, deaf to my tears
