(Verse 1)
Every day I sat and stared
Same old café, same old chair
You walked by, and time stood still
But you passed like I ain’t real
(Pre-Chorus)
My friends say I’ve lost my mind
But girl, your light’s the only sign
(Chorus)
Where were you, when I was waiting?
Eyes on the road, heart slowly breaking
My guitar’s worn from playing your name
Still you don’t come, but I love you the same
Where were you… where were you…
(Verse 2)
I ain’t no star, no shiny crown
No fancy car, no downtown
But this heart don’t play pretend
You’re the start, the middle, the end
(Pre-Chorus)
I’d scream your name across the sky
If it could make you hear my cry
(Chorus)
Where were you, when I was waiting?
Clouds rolled in, the night was fading
Let them laugh, I’ll take the fall
Until you answer, I won’t play at all
Where were you… where were you…
(Bridge)
If you hear this song tonight
Please just give me one small sign
So I can know
I ain’t just loving you alone
(Guitar solo – wild and loud)
(Final Chorus)
Where were you, when I was waiting?
Everyone’s asking, my heart’s hesitating
And I say – “She’s worth the fight, this song’s for her…”
Where were you… where were you…
