Where were you?
There was a time when
I was feelin’ lonely
There was a time when
I was really feelin’ bad
And no one was standin’ beside me,
There was no one to lend me a hand.
Where were you?
When I just needed someone to hold me tight,
no one was there,
When I needed someone to keep me thru the night,
no one was there
You weren’t there

Where were you, when I needed you most?
Where were you, Whoever you are?
I know there’s someone out there for me,
But I don’t know where they are!
Where were you?

When I was lost in the cold,
and needed a companion,
When I was afraid of love,
and didn’t know what to do,
When I was stumbling to my knees,
and falling on my face,
When I was abandoned,
just tell me — Where were you?

(repeat chorus)

When I was lonely — where were you?
When I was longing — where were you?
When I was alone — where were you?
Next time it happens — what do I do?

(repeat chorus)

Just come out of the dark —
I need you now — where are you?
Just come out of the night —
I want you now — where are you?
Where were you all those empty days?
Where were you deep in the maze?
Where were you while I was lost?
Where were you while I was lost?

(repeat chorus)
