(Verse 1)
Where were you
When the lights went out
When there was fear and doubt
When courage ran away from me
Where were you
Where was I
When the train rolled on
In a place unknown
No familiar voices calling me
Where was I
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
Every night felt like a question
No one stayed to hear
Every promise turned to echo
Disappearing in the air
⸻
(Chorus)
You weren’t there
When I needed you most
When the silence filled the room
You weren’t there
When the world got real
At the edge of coming loose
I was reaching through the dark
Hoping you would pull me through
But you weren’t there
When I needed you
⸻
(Verse 2)
Where were you
When the nights ran long
And the will felt gone
And the ground beneath me shook again
Where were you
Where was I
Trying to hold the line
Between heart and pride
Learning how to breathe alone again
Where was I
⸻
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Every step felt like a verdict
Every day a test
Every memory of you
Like a weight upon my chest
⸻
(Chorus)
You weren’t there
When I needed you most
When the silence filled the room
You weren’t there
When the world got real
At the edge of coming loose
I was reaching through the dark
Hoping you would pull me through
But you weren’t there
When I needed you
⸻
(Bridge – Indie rock lift)
And maybe love
Is just a word we say
Until the storm arrives
Maybe hearts
Reveal themselves
When something breaks inside
⸻
(Final Chorus – resolution)
You weren’t there
When I needed you most
When the night refused to move
You weren’t there
When I needed hope
More than something left to prove
I kept walking through the dark
Till the morning finally grew
You weren’t there
But I made it through
Mm mmmm mmm mmm mmm
I made it through
