[Verse 1]
The suitcase clicked, the front door sighed,
Your promises folded, neatly lied.
"Just for the money," you always say,
But the miles took more than they ever paid.
Your shadow fades on the airport glass,
Each goodbye feels like the last.
[Prechorus]
The clock ticks louder when you're gone,
Every second, a note of a lonely song.
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you most?
When the nights grew cold, and the dark got close?
Your name's just a whisper, a ghost in the air,
I looked for your love, but it wasn’t there.
Where were you? Where were you?
[Verse 2]
Maps on your walls, stars in your eyes,
But I never saw my face in your sky.
Postcards came with a stranger's hand,
Telling me stories I can't understand.
You chased horizons, I stayed behind,
Searching for pieces you left to find.
[Prechorus]
The wind howls louder when you're away,
It steals the words I wanted to say.
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you most?
When the nights grew cold, and the dark got close?
Your name's just a whisper, a ghost in the air,
I looked for your love, but it wasn’t there.
Where were you? Where were you?
