Lyrics:

I haven’t been here in a long time
Look at what’s left of the place
Stay for awhile if you don’t mind
Say you remember my face

There’s a light that I knew in the curtains
There’s a face that I see on the wall
All the papers I left you can burn them
With the voices I hear in the hall

Somewhere in the wind 
I could crawl another day
But I won’t be here again
When there is another way

Where were you then, when I needed you most
holding my hand, to the fire,
find me again with the gathering ghosts
free of hope you inspire

Not every curse will be broken
Even a hero can fall
Tell me what cannot be spoken
No one will hear when I call

I’ll never know the arrangement
Ignorant malice or greed
Happy in all your Estrangement 
Take everything that you need

I won’t be here again
Go and try another day
Wait for this to end
Find another way 

where you then, when I needed you most
holding my hand, to the fire,
find me again with the gathering ghosts
freed of the hope you inspire

Where have you been 
I was here all this time
waiting alone on a wire
you can pretend, I will never be fine
holding my hand to the fire

Oh say would you rather
Oh your strength may fade
Tell me when the visions gather
Everyone that you betrayed

No I didn’t want to 
Oh, I was afraid
Knowing that, that truth may haunt you
Buried by the choice you made

haven’t been here in a long time
Hate what you’ve done with the place
I know what you said and I don’t mind
Say it again to my face

everything here could get better
but it so clearly got worse
say what you want with a letter
say what you feel in a curse

somewhere in the wind
I could crawl another day
but I won't be here again
and there is no other way

Where were you then 
when I needed you most
holding my hand to the fire
Find me again with the gathering ghosts
free of the hope you inspire

Where have you been 
I was here all this time
waiting alone on a wire
you can pretend, I will never be fine
holding my hand to the fire

Where Were You
