[Verse] Where were you when the skies turned gray When the storm rolled in and swept me away I called your name but the echoes stayed Left in the silence where shadows played [Chorus] Where were you when I needed you When the world felt cold and the pain was true You promised the stars but they fell from view Where were you when I needed you [Verse 2] The nights were long and the days stood still I climbed the mountain but I lost the will I reached for your hand but it slipped right through Where were you when I needed you [Chorus] Where were you when I needed you When the world felt cold and the pain was true You promised the stars but they fell from view Where were you when I needed you [Bridge] The clock ticks on but the questions stay Why did you leave when I begged you to stay I built my strength from the cracks that grew But I still wonder where were you [Chorus] Where were you when I needed you When the world felt cold and the pain was true You promised the stars but they fell from view Where were you when I needed you
