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?
