[Verse 1]
I called your name into the quiet night
The stars hung heavy but gave no light
The echoes fell like tears on stone
I needed you
But I was alone
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you
When the world was cold and the skies were blue
I held my breath
I held my ground
But you
You were nowhere to be found
[Verse 2]
The clock hands turned but time stood still
The weight of silence broke my will
The shadows whispered things untrue
I fought them all
But not with you
[Prechorus]
I reached for hope
I reached for air
I reached for someone who wasn’t there
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you
When my heart was cracked and the light was few
I called for help
I screamed your name
But all I got was empty blame
[Bridge]
A river flows where trust once lay
It carried you so far away
But rivers dry and bridges burn
Will you come back
Or never return
