Let me know if your interested! [Intro: Artist 1] Where were you? [Chorus: Artist 1] Where were you on the nights that I sat by myself? In my room, fighting thoughts I couldn't share with nobody else All alone with my phone, hoping you'd answer the call But I guess I learned the truth when you weren't there at all Where were you on the nights that I couldn't find my way? When I questioned if tomorrow would be better than today? I was reaching out for someone, but you left me on the shelf Now I know exactly what to expect from your voicemail [Verse 1: Artist 1] So many nights I've cried So many times I've tried So many thoughts inside my head I couldn't keep them all confined There were moments I wanted to die, couldn't picture a future Had my mind in a place where I couldn't find a solution But I called you first Thought you'd care when it hurt Thought you'd answer when I needed you the worst But you ignored me, and it made the whole situation worse I was trying to find a reason just to put myself first And it's funny how these people always promise they'll be there Say they'll listen when you're struggling, that they'll always show they care But when you're down and out, you look around and they're nowhere Until you're back up on your feet, then suddenly they're everywhere Now they're acting like they knew that I'd eventually succeed Like they helped me through the nights when I was begging for some peace Like they knew I'd find a way to get back up and finally breathe But they weren't around when I was fighting battles they couldn't see They wanna act like we're the closest, like we never lost connection But I remember every call that never got a single mention I was never asking you to solve my problems or my questions I just needed someone there, but you were missing from the message And I'm not living like that anymore, I've come a long way Those thoughts are in my past, and I'm thankful for today But I won't forget the people who abandoned me that way So don't act like you were there when you were nowhere to be found [Chorus: Artist 1] Where were you on the nights that I sat by myself? In my room, fighting thoughts I couldn't share with nobody else All alone with my phone, hoping you'd answer the call But I guess I learned the truth when you weren't there at all Where were you on the nights that I couldn't find my way? When I questioned if tomorrow would be better than today? I was reaching out for someone, but you left me on the shelf Now I know exactly what to expect from your voicemail [Verse 2: Artist 2] You see, loyalty is something that you really cannot fake And some people only call you when there's something they can take When you're struggling, they're missing, when you're winning, they're awake Suddenly they're in your corner, telling stories they create I remember all the times that you were calling up my phone I was busy with my life, never thought that you were feeling so alone Now you're doing better, everybody wants to know Where you've been and how you made it, how you managed to grow But I don't think you understand the way that friendship really works You can't disappear completely, then return when someone's worth More attention, more connections, more success and more respect You can't skip the hardest chapters then expect to get the best I ain't saying that I hate you, I ain't holding any grudges But you can't expect forgiveness just because you say you're sorry I was there for all the real ones, never needed all the numbers Rather have a couple people than a thousand undercover Now we're moving forward, got the ones who never left We were building something real while they were busy placing bets And I never needed people just to tell me I'm the best I just needed people who would answer when I sent a text So if you're calling now, I hope you understand You had every opportunity to be there when I had a chance I'm not trying to be cruel, I'm just keeping things in perspective You weren't there when it mattered, now I'm moving in a different direction [Chorus: Artist 1] Where were you on the nights that I sat by myself? In my room, fighting thoughts I couldn't share with nobody else All alone with my phone, hoping you'd answer the call But I guess I learned the truth when you weren't there at all Where were you on the nights that I couldn't find my way? When I questioned if tomorrow would be better than today? I was reaching out for someone, but you left me on the shelf Now I know exactly what to expect from your voicemail [Electric Guitar Solo] [Outro: Artist 1] Where were you? [Voicemail Beep]
