Where Were You?

(album: Bitterblue - 1991)

Oh baby I was always around
To pick you up when you were falling down
Now baby when you were crying the blues
Wasn't I the one that you came crying to?
In all the years gone by
You've never seen me cry
I never let you see the other side of me

[Chorus:]
Where were you
When I needed somebody to lean on?
Yeah where were you
When I needed a shoulder to cry on?
I always held you close when you were feeling weak
Guess I was walking down a one-way street
I was a fool to think that you'd be there for me
Where were you?

Oh baby when you needed a friend
I stuck beside you girl through thick and thin
Now Baby when no-one cared at all
Wasn't I the one that you would always call
I gave away my heart, I knew just where I stood
Till I reached out for you 'cause I thought I could

[Chorus]

Now even more than what I'm going through
The cut that hurts the most is your attitude
You're pretty good at taking what you need
You've got a lot to learn about loyalty...

Believe me baby...there were times
You drove me crazy...I was so blind
Where were you?

I never let you down when you were full of fear
Saved you from drowning in a sea of tears
Why baby why then weren't you ever
There for me?

[Chorus]
