[Intro]

We could have ridden through the cities at night

We could have crossed the lines and flown beyond the dark

We could have sung to dawn and forget we'd die

But you disappeared

[Chorus]

Oh, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you here?

Standing by my side and taking away my fear

Why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you here?

Loving all my flaws and whispering to my ear

[Verse 1]

Now I gotta stand all my pain alone

Unexplainable feeling of distress

Nobody ever understood at all

What I feel is all, all my fear and stress

Where were you all this time?

And may I ask you why

You left me behind without any word? (oeil ngati kameie)

Why did you hurt me bad?

Shot me by deep inside?

Knocked me off your heart without any hurt?

[Chorus 2]

Why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you here?

Standing by my side and taking away my fear

Why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you here?

Loving all my flaws and whispering to my ear

[Verse 2]

I can't stand, I'm upset

My mind's full with regret

I lost myself too, lost my mind tho

I lost faith, I lost hate

My feelings are crushed and knowledge's a rush

I now focus on pyramid and crystals

And gods I worship are dark and filled with metals

Looking for a path to Higher

Switching from him to her

I lost the sense of reality

My will is to talk to deities

I could have been normal for you

And maybe all this is good

Cause you disappeared

[Chorus 3]

Oh, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you here?

Standing by my side and taking away my fear

Why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you, why weren't you here?

Loving all my flaws and whispering to my ear

[Outro]

You weren't, you weren't, you weren't here

You weren't, you weren't, you weren't here

I lost myself, Oh

I lost myself
