From Here from Every Goodbye by Patrice Richmond

Running away, running long,
where were you hiding, while we sang our sad song, sad song

And it feels like you just went away, left us standing here with our words in the air
And it feels like we did our part too but not knowing the way, not knowing what else to say
Where do we go, tell me where do we go

Are you alone? Are you heard?
Is there a fighting, in yourself to return, to return

But it feels like you just shut it all down with these tears in our hearts, no one turning around
And it feels like we should start anew because looking at you I see myself too
Where do we go, let’s take it slow from here

Silence for years, silence never more
Let’s help each other, learn what family is for, what it’s for

But it feels like you just let it all fall with your back to the ones who’d help carry it all
And it feels like we’re now somewhere else. We’ve all changed a bit. Let’s see what’s left of it
From where we have been, let’s try again from here
