• Intro: It's getting dark, the sun is shining
    Fallin' apart, never felt better
    You told me you'd find me, said you'd never go away
    But now your heart is fading, and you're leaving me waiting
    I still don't know what to do.

    Verse 1: Life sucks, but then you die
    Why waste your life when it's just passin' you by?
    Those things you used to say
    Don't even know what they were anymore.

    You told me you'd meet me in the park,
    So I waited quietly until it turned so dark
    It wasn't until they replaced those old, rusty swings
    That I realised that you were never coming.

    [So please tell me, where did you go?]

    Chorus: 'Cause You weren't there, you weren't there
    So where did you go?
    I just wanted to know but you
    Didn't even say 'good-bye'
    I'd like to know why, so tell me
    Why did you leave me?

    Verse 2: It's pretty much the same as it was back then,
    except for everything that has been changed.
    If you were here, you'd see everything.
    The things we'd do, those words you'd sing.
    You see those people passin' by?
    They never knew you, and now they never will.
    But just imagine what it would be like, if all of them knew all the pain you're pullin' me through.

    [Just tell me why you're not coming back]

    Chorus

    Bridge: I shouldn't have known you, I should have smiled
    But you shouldn't have run away like a broken child.
    You see that old picture on the wall?
    You see, it's getting old.
    Let's replace it together, let's find something new.
    Just come on back we'll find a 1-hour-photo
    And I'll tell you the things I didn't want you to know.

    You know I love you, You know I need you
    But those laughing people make it all seem like...

    New Chorus: Like you were never there
    You were never there
    Life without you is so twisted, it's almost like you never existed.
    [So where did you go?]
