Verse 1:
somethingand's funny and'bout your touch lately
itand's like youand've been touching someone else
and the sound of your voice,
well somethingand's stopping you from being yourself
weand've always been honest
and painfully so
so tell me though i donand't want to hear
I have to ask you
where have you been?
and'cause i think i know the answer
and itand's not what i wanted to hear
dear, where have you been?
iand've been waiting up for you
i donand't want to accuse but
your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
i donand't want to hear it but
the truth
where have you been?
Verse 2:
(well) i know itand's easy to lose faith
we look simply for a change of pace
and i know my moods, they go up and down
but when youand're climbing walls, donand't i stick around?
you caught me
on some little white lies
itand's you who taught me
about silent goodbyes
I have to ask you
where have you been?
and'cause i think i know the answer
and itand's isnand't what i wanted to hear
dear, where have you been?
iand've been waiting up for you
i donand't want to accuse but
your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
i donand't want to hear it
but the truth
where have you been?
Bridge:
a silent cry fills the room
i hear it no sooner than the words ring true
i knew it all along
please erase this song
end this harsh reality
what did you do to me? oh...
I have to ask you
where have you been?
and'cause i think i know the answer
and it isnand't what i wanted to hear
no
iand've been waiting up for you
i have to ask you
where have you been?
i think i know the answer
itand's written all over your face
No-no-no
no-no-no-no
i donand't want to know - yeah
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
i donand't want to hear it
but the truth
where have you been?
i donand't want to hear it - but tell me
where have you been?
no...
where have you been?
where have you been?
