Where Have You Been?

Where have you been?

And what are you looking for?

Tell me, old friend:

When you turn out the light,

close your eyes for the night,

does your mind go astray,

are you running away from yourself?

Don't be afraid to ask for help

We shared so much together

Our dreams went on forever

Living like the day would never end

Then came the stormy weather

Our lives were torn and shattered

We were forced to stop and start again

It's never easy to face the fact

that you have made a mistake and yet

Isn't it time that you found

the purpose of living that brings peace of mind?

And where have you been?

(Where have you been? You've been away so long)

And what are you looking for?

(What are you looking for way out their on your own)

Tell me, old friend:

(Where have you been? You've been away so long)

When you turn out the light,

close your eyes for the night,

does your mind go astray,

are you running away from yourself?

Don't be afraid to ask for help

If we were merely strangers

oblivious to dangers

that living in the shadows can lead you to

I wouldn't speak so freely

but in your eyes, I see me

The lesson that life has taught me

I give to you

What you give out will come back to you

Isn't it time that you faced the truth?

Stop holding so much inside

Admit to yourself that you're not satisfied

Where have you been?

When you're not strong, I'll be your shoulder

When I was cold

When I was tired

I didn't know if anybody cared

But you see, I had to turn around and look at myself

Nobody else understood me

But I made it through

and you can too

I've been missing you, old friend

I've been missing you, old friend
