Where were you?

When I was out there on my own

Trying not to feel alone

Looking for a place called home

Where were you?

Back when I could use some love

Or some help from up above

Or just simple human touch

Where were you?

Oh yeah

Where were you?

Where were you?

Oh yeah

Where were you?

Now I ain’t saying that I need you

But I sure could’ve used some help

I ain’t saying I believed in you

But I was out there by myself

Where were you?

Oh yeah

Where were you?

Where were you?

Oh yeah

Where were you?

When I was looking for a light

Just to help me see the way

When I was down for the fight

And it just got worse everyday

Where were you?

Oh yeah

Where were you?

Where were you?

Oh tell me

Where were you?

Back when I needed you

To help me start anew

Where were you?

Where were you?

Back when I needed help

To save me from myself

Where were you?

Where were you?

Back when, when I needed a friend

Back then, to help me start again

Where were you?

Where were you?

Yeah

Just tell me where you were

Where you were hanging out

When I needed you to be there

But you were nowhere to be found

Where were you?

Oh yeah

Where were you?

Where were you?

Oh tell me

Where were you?
