  • (Jo Dee Messina/John Bettis/Wayne Kirkpatrick)
    It's good to see you come 'round, it's been a while
    Sure is nice to see your smile
    Yah I'm doing better now, thought about
    Callin' you a hundred times
    Oh I had left a couple messages
    And I never heard a word
    Not one

    [Chorus:]
    Where were you when I needed somebody
    Where were you when the walls started caving in
    I was waiting for someone to save me
    When I was coming unglued
    Where were you
    A lot of things got pretty bad pretty fast
    I never thought you'd turn your back
    You left me out there all alone hanging on
    I just have to deal with that
    Oh I can count on you when everything is easy
    But when the going gets tough
    I guess not

    [Repeat chorus]
    I had to find my own way
    Now that I've made it through
    [Repeat chorus (out)] Writer/s: JO DEE MESSINA, JOHN BETTIS, WAYNE KIRKPATRICK
