Where were you,
When I needed someone
To hold me tight?
Where were you,
When I cried myself
To sleep at night?
Where were you,
When my pillow was
The only one I could hold on to?
When I was all alone,
Where were you?
When I needed someone
To hold me close
And help me see through my tears,
There was no one I could
Turn to at night
Who could overcome my fears.
I was reaching out for
Someone who could
Give me a love I could share,
But no matter where
I looked it always seemed
That there was no one there.
