The sight of you at my front door
it still takes my breath
I can almost convince myself
It ain't over yet
we could stand here and reminisce
omitting the obvious

Chorus:
where were you when I was lonely
where were you when I was sad
when I held on to the hope
that you’d be a stronger man
where you when times got harder
when I was hangin on a prayer
I was lookin for a savior
I found you weren’t there
you’re lookin for forgiveness
but you can’t undo the feelin
where were you

(when) I threw away your old coat
bought myself a car
i filled up the empty space
you left in my heart
there’s just no goin back
Whenever you have to ask

when I went and turned that corner
when I found a brand new way
when I woke up and I moved on till it just didn't matter anymore
where were you
