[Verse 1]
Tried to find footsteps, but none did appear to me
In shadows of nights where I'm lonely (Whoa, oh)
Reaching for memories that I never had
My heart beats slow, the world seems phony (Whoa, oh)
Never had answers, just questions and silence
Yearning for guidance, but always defiance (Whoa, oh)
Searching for solace in places I've wandered through
Trudging the past that's a broken monologue (Whoa, oh)

[Chorus]
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

[Verse 2]
Listening to echoes of dreams that I painted
On canvas of moments I wish I could know (Whoa, oh)
Hoping for warmth in the cold nights of solitude
Lost in the spaces where love used to grow (Whoa, oh)
Empty embrace and a silence that's deafening
Trying to heal but the scar's everlasting (Whoa, oh)
Living in shadows of what could have never been
Searching for father, a ghost in a midnight scene (Whoa, oh)

[Chorus]
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

[Bridge]
Maybe one day, I'll find the light
Maybe someday, I'll make this right
Till that day comes, I carry the weight
A love that's unknown, a heart that's faint

[Chorus]
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
Where were you?

[Verse 3]
Tears of the past and the nights that I cried
A void in my soul where you should reside (Whoa, oh)
Words left unsaid, advice I never heard
A son's lonely journey, the silence absurd (Whoa, oh)
Grieving a presence that never was there
Lost in the wind, just a hope and a prayer (Whoa, oh)
Learning to crawl, to stand, and to walk
Without your shadow, through life's empty talk (Whoa, oh)
[Chorus]
Where were you?
Where were you?
[Chorus]
Where were you?
Where were you?

[Outro]
In the mirror I see, the man I could be
But without you here, it's hard to be free
The years have gone by, the pain still remains
A son with no father, bound by these chains (Whoa, oh)
Where were you?
Where were you?
