Intro:
............
Yeah,

Instrumental Break:

Chorus:
Where were you then?
When things fell apart and I needed a hand
Where were you then?
When I stayed up late just trying to stand
I worked on myself, learned how to grow
Where were you then?
When everything hurt and I felt so alone?

It was long days, and longer nights
Fighting with my thoughts, tired of the pain
Barely getting by, trying to stay afloat
Thought you had my back, but you let go
Now I see it clearer than before
I was all in, but you wanted something more
I gave my time, gave my heart
You gave up before the real work could start

Chorus:
Where were you then?
When things fell apart and I needed a hand
Where were you then?
When I stayed up late just trying to stand
I worked on myself, learned how to grow
Without you, I found my own way
But where were you then
When everything hurt and I felt so alone?

Bridge:
I don’t hate you,
You were part of the past, now the past goes on
Some people leave, and that’s okay
Not everyone’s meant to stay

Now life feels good, real good
Cut off the noise, held on to what's strong
I'm not the same, I’ve changed a lot
Took time, but I like what I got
I don’t need payback, don’t need revenge
I’m still here, still breathing deep, yeah
Got promises to keep, yeah

Outro:
So I’ll…
Keep going
Take each day
Speak my mind
Find my way
Fall sometimes
Then stand again
Breathe it in
And let it stay

I won’t look back with any regret
I know I gave it all,
Win or lose, I still showed up
Now I’m just ready to grow up

Final Chorus:
Where were you then?
When things fell apart and I needed a hand
Where were you then?
When I stayed up late just trying to stand
I worked on myself, learned how to grow
Without you, I found my own way
But where were you then
When everything hurt and I felt so alone?
