Verse 1
I fell in a place where healing had a name,
Bright white walls, but nobody came.
My body hit the floor like a warning bell,
Glasses flew off, I woke up in hell.

There were hands nearby, there were eyes that saw,
But silence stood there like it owned the law.
No report, no call, no “Are you alright?”
Just my broken body under fluorescent light.

Pre-Chorus
And I keep asking the ceiling,
Was I not someone’s child?
Was I not someone’s wife?
Was I not worth a while?

Verse 2
A nurse sat me outside on the sidewalk stone,
Told me to call a stranger and ride home alone.
I couldn’t remember the streets where I lived,
Couldn’t find the words my own mouth hid.

So I picked a corner, broken and scared,
Praying my husband would find me there.
Tracking my ghost through a glowing screen,
Love had to rescue what they wouldn’t see.

Pre-Chorus
And I keep asking the morning,
Where did mercy go?
How can people trained to heal
Leave somebody in the cold?

Chorus
No one wrote it down,
No one said my name.
No one told the truth,
No one took the blame.
They left me with the cold,
With my head full of clouds,
And years later I’m still screaming,
But no one wrote it down.

Bridge
Now the picture finally shows
What my body always knew,
Three torn places in my neck,
Pain the years kept pushing through.

Pressed against my spinal cord,
Like the past still has a hand,
And the doctor looked at me
Like, “How could they let you stand?”

Finally somebody sees me,
Finally somebody knows,
I wasn’t being dramatic,
I was carrying broken bones.

Breakdown
What happened to humanity?
What happened to care?
What happened to helping
When a body falls right there?

What happened to duty?
What happened to grace?
How do you look at a wounded soul
And turn away your face?

Final Chorus
No one wrote it down,
But my body kept the score.
No one made a record,
But pain remembers more.
They left me with the cold,
With my name lost in the crowd,
But God, I’m still here breathing,
Even if no one wrote it down.

Outro
I fell where I came for healing,
I woke up all alone.
But finally someone sees me,
And I’m finding my way home.
