where were you?

when i tried to say what i had to say
when the rain was fallin' down
where were you?
where were you?

when i was searching my heart for an answer
trying to hear what you would say
where were you?
where were you?

were you hiding
from the difficult words
hiding from the feelings
that were really yours
hiding your emotions
so i wouldn't see
what you really think
when you think of me
were you somewhere in the darkness
looking in
but left me without a word
well i'm emptier for what i haven't heard

when i was spilling my soul on the paper
when i was dark as a winter's night
where were you?
where were you ?

when i was seeking your mind for some comfort
trying hard to find your light
where were you?
where were you?

were you hiding
from the difficult words
hiding from the feelings
that were really yours
hiding your emotions
so i wouldn't see
what you really think
when you think of me
were you somewhere in the darkness
looking in
but left me without a word
well i'm emptier for what i haven't heard
