Where were you when they burned me and broke me?

I’m gf

As the days passed by my window looking

Where were you when I was hurt and helpless?

I’m gf

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

I’m f

As you hung on someone else’s words

I’m baby

Dying to believe in what you heard

Am7 GC

I was looking straight at the bright sun

CF

Lost in thoughts and lost in time

I’m gf

While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted

Outside the rain fell dark and slow

I’m gf

As I pondered this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I’m f

I took a heavenly walk through our silence

I’m baby

I knew the time had come

For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly walk through our silence

I’m baby

I knew the wait had begun

Am7 GC

And headed straight … towards the bright sun
