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 [bad word] 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.
