Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said it was us against the world,
Nothing could ever pull you away.
I believed every word you spoke,
In that rush of new love, I wanted to stay.
Thought I'd found the one my heart could call home,
A safe place when the storms rolled through.
But life got heavy, the pressure came down,
And that's when I started losing you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Work and family, all the weight of the day,
Started pulling us apart.
I kept reaching for your hand in the dark,
But you were already letting go.
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you?
When the bills came calling and the sky turned gray.
Where were you when I needed someone
Standing by my side instead of walking away?
When life felt like it was closing in,
And I just needed something true.
I kept holding on for both of us,
But where were you when I needed you?
[Verse 2]
I fought to keep us together,
Tried to keep our whole world standing upright.
You acted like nothing was wrong,
Said it was all in my mind every night.
I carried burdens you never saw,
Paid prices you never knew.
And every time I looked around for help,
I found an empty space where there should've been you.
[Pre-Chorus]
I was drowning in responsibilities,
Trying not to break apart.
You watched from a distance, comfortable,
While I was fighting with all my heart.
[Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you?
When the bills came calling and the sky turned gray.
Where were you when I needed someone
Standing by my side instead of walking away?
When life felt like it was closing in,
And I just needed something true.
I kept holding on for both of us,
But where were you when I needed you?
[Bridge]
Funny how you're knocking on my door now,
Now that the worst has passed me by.
You see the strength I built from the struggle,
The fire that survived the night.
I learned how to stand when I was alone,
Learned what I can do.
And somewhere along that hard road,
I stopped needing you.
[Final Chorus]
Where were you when I needed you?
That's the question you can never undo.
I carried the weight, I fought the fight,
While you stood back and watched me make it through.
Now I'm heading somewhere bigger,
With dreams I've still got left to pursue.
I'm looking for someone who'll share the load,
Not someone who disappears when life gets hard to do.
[Outro]
So it's time for you to move on,
And it's time for me to move on too.
I've found out what I'm worth these days,
And I won't settle for half of the truth.
I'm stronger now than I've ever been,
Got a future breaking through.
But I'll always remember the questionβ
Where were you when I needed you?
