[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
