I used to wake up nights
Calling out your name
Then cry myself back to sleep
Knowing I'd only dream
I stayed inside for days
Trapped within my mind
Wonderin where you had gone
Convinced I could not go on
And just when I started feelin
Those hands of time start to healin
You're here at my door
Sayin your new dreams
Have led you back to me
Where were you
When I was goin crazy
Where were you
Do you know what your leaving put me through
When you were feeling lost last thing I knew
You went off to find yourself
Where were you
I can't pretend I'm strong
Or act like I don't care
But I wont betray my heart
Now that we've come this far
I let you go cause I had to
I close this door cause I need to
This tunnell has a light
It's not that far away
Gets brighter every day
Where were you
When I was goin crazy
Where were you
Do you know what your leaving put me through
When you were feeling lost last thing I knew
You went off to find yourself
Where were you
Where were you
