I've been sad and lonely for so many nights
Without you to hold me and show me it's alright
A little understanding isn't asking for too much
Well you loved me and 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
Now suddenly you've come back to me
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
And 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 me But where were you
In the middle of the night
I would count all the time that you came and left me
I could count so high
That I realized that 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
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
Where were you
