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
