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?
