where were you, Oh where were you and where have you been
where were you when I wanted you to come in
where were you to come into my heart and tell it:
“please, be careful, just a bit”
where were you when I needed to see what's true
where were you before I continued to love you
where were you when everything was smooth as silk
where were you when I thought that I found someone my ilk
where were you before we met for a greeting
where were you before my heart started beating
where were you before I saw you holding a knife
where were you oh where were you before you took away my life
