Unexplained Silence

I remember the words you used to say
You'll never leave along the way
I thought you were unbreakable
You seemed to me, invincible!

Tell me why I can't understand
For me, you can't make a stand
Your stillness kills me deep inside
And part of me has forever died

What’s wrong with you my dear brother?
To rescue me, you haven't bothered!
The hurt and pain and so much violence
You're standing still choosing silence

I thought you'd stand up for what's right
But you ran away in the middle of the fight
You numbed your soul from this day on
You chose the night over the dawn

I'm on my on, but I'm still strong
I know my road might be long
I won't give up, I won't give in
I know I'm winning in the end
