Where Did You Go? (Expanded Version) Style: Country Duet (Emotional, mid-tempo acoustic build) Verse 1 (Man) Look at you standing there, hands on your hips, With a cold, quiet poison dripping right off your lips. You talk about damage like you didn’t light the match, Like you’re the only one left with a wound you can’t patch. (Woman) Don't you turn this around like I pulled the trigger first, I gave you my best while you handed me your worst. You built up these walls brick by stubborn old brick, Now you’re calling me cold when it’s your game I’m sick of. Pre-Chorus (Man) We used to build a fire just to keep out the night… (Woman) Now we’re burning down the house just to win a stupid fight. Chorus (Both - Harmony) Where did those days go when your heart beat for me? It's still me, why can't you see? Where did you go? It's as if you’re a person I don't know. Hear my voice, look in my eyes, Let go of all the lies, before we say goodbye. Verse 2 (Woman) You pointed every finger at the flaws in my soul, Took everything cherished and you swallowed it whole. I watched your face harden, saw the warmth walk away, Leaving nothing but silence at the end of the day. (Man) Yeah, well, look in the mirror before you cast that first stone, I was standing right beside you, but you left me alone. You turned your heart to granite, drew a line in the sand, Now I’m sleeping next to someone I don't understand. Pre-Chorus (Woman) We used to build a fire just to keep out the night… (Man) Now we’re burning down the house just to win a stupid fight. Chorus (Both - Harmony) Where did those days go when your heart beat for me? It's still me, why can't you see? Where did you go? It's as if you’re a person I don't know. Hear my voice, look in my eyes, Let go of all the fights, before we say goodbye. Verse 3 (New Section: The Vows & The Family) (Woman) There’s ten years of silver in a band on my hand, A golden-framed promise that ain't going as planned. We swore for better or worse standing up at that altar, So how did we let something sacred just falter? (Man) I look down the hallway, see the light in their room, Sleeping through the thunder of our quiet little doom. They’ve got your soft eyes and they’ve got my stubborn name, What are we gonna tell 'em when we blow out this flame? (Woman) I don't wanna forget who we used to be then, Before the anger took over and the ice settled in... (Man) Yeah, I don't wanna erase every good thing we built, Just to drown in the pride and the pain and the guilt. Bridge (Man) We’re standing side-by-side… (Woman) …like two strangers in the dark. (Man) Holding onto grudges… (Woman) …and tearing us apart. (Man) Think about the vows… (Woman) …think about their little faces. (Both) Are we really gonna leave 'em in the broken places? Guitar Solo / Acoustic Build-Up Chorus (Both - Harmony) Where did those days go when your heart beat for me? It's still me, why can't you see? Where did you go? It's as if you’re a person I don't know. Hear my voice, look in my eyes, Let go of all the lies, before we say goodbye. Outro (Man) Look in my eyes… (Woman) Remember the life we built before we say goodbye… (Man) For the kids, for ourselves… (Both) Before it’s all gone. (Soft acoustic guitar fading out on a lingering chord)
