Where Were You?

I've been sad and lonely for so many nights
Without you to hold me, to show me it's alright
A little understanding isn't asking for too much
Why you loved me, you left me, and you never stayed in touch

Now you're reaching out for something
But there's nothing I can do

Where were you to help me through
All that emptiness inside?
Where were you, you never knew
All those nights you made me cry?

Where were you when I was all alone
Trying to mend this broken heart?
And suddenly you've come back to me
Oh, where were you?

Who are you to call me when you need someone?
And who are you to call me after what you've done?
How can I forget the way you walked out on my love
Well, I could try to forgive you, but that might not be enough

Well, you broke into my heart
And you left without a clue

Where were you to help me through
All that emptiness inside?
Where were you, you never knew
All those nights you made me cry?

Where were you when I was all alone
Trying to mend this broken heart?
Now suddenly you've come back to see it through
But where were you?

In the middle of the night
I would count on the times that you came and left me
I could count so high that I realized
This was never where you wanted to be

When I needed your help, you were somewhere else
And I never felt so alone
To be with you, I'd be better on my own
Yeah

I've been sad and lonely for too many nights

Where were you to help me through
All that emptiness inside?
Where were you, you never knew
All those nights you made me cry?

Where were you when I was all alone
Trying to mend this broken heart?
Now suddenly you've come back to me
It wasn't meant to be
And now you're here to see it through
But where were you?
