The storm had overturned my ship in the sea so fast And as I searched and begged for some safety
My hope was lost (my hope was lost)
And I sit and hope for my end for days, So the crushing waves Have been falling and inspire to pretend
Where were you as I cried out your name Where were you as I cried out Where were you as I cried out your name Where were you as I cried
Where were you as I cried out your name You were nowhere (nowhere) around (you were never around) You only cared since I've made my way to solid ground (solid ground)
You were absent in my anguish (in my hopelessness) You were absent in my anguish (in my hopelessness) But you love to be present after I've regrouped (am I over you yet?) But you love to be present after I've regrouped
My hope was lost
I reach out for you to hold me close, It's always been hurting though don't hold me long As I drowned alone
Where were you as I cried out your name Where were you as I cried out Where were you as I cried out your name Where were you as I cried out
Where were you as I cried out your name You were nowhere (nowhere) around (you were never around) You only cared since I've made my way to solid ground (solid ground)
I was so much less important to you than you were to yourself I was so much less important to you because you listen only to your own voice I was so much less important to you than you were to yourself
You listened only to your own voice, as I cried out
Where were you as I cried out your name You were nowhere (nowhere) around (you were never around) You only cared since I've made my way to solid ground (solid ground)
Now I see I am safe all thanks to my friends You are the one who will sink by yourself While everyone here is cheering each other on We won't hear you scream all for yourself.
My brothers carry me, carry me without you. My brothers carry me, carry me without you.
