VERSE 1:
Something's funny 'bout your touch lately
It's like you've been touching someone else
And the sound of your voice
Well something's stopping you from being yourself
We've always been honest -
And painfully so -
So tell me though I don't want to hear
I have to ask you
Where have you been?
'Cause I think I know the answer
And it's not what I wanted to hear
Dear, where have you been?
I've been waiting up for you
I don't want to accuse but
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don't want to hear it but -
The truth -
Where have you been?
VERSE 2:
(Well) I know it'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 you're climbing walls, don't I stick around?
You caught me
On some little white lies
It's you who taught me
About silent goodbyes
I have to ask you
Where have you been?
'Cause I think I know the answer
And it's isn't what I wanted to hear
Dear, where have you been?
I've been waiting up for you
I don't want to accuse but
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don'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?
'Cause I think I know the answer
And it isn't what I wanted to hear
No
I've been waiting up for you
I have to ask you
Where have you been?
I think I know the answer
It's written all over your face
No-no-no
No-no-no-no
I don't want to know - yeah
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don't want to hear it -
But the truth -
Where have you been?
I don't want to hear it - but tell me
Where have you been?
No...
Where have you been?
Where have you been?
Something's funny 'bout your touch lately
It's like you've been touching someone else
And the sound of your voice

I have to ask you
Where have you been?
'Cause I think I know the answer
And it's not what I wanted to hear
Dear, where have you been?
I've been waiting up for you
I don't want to accuse but
Your eyes and mouth they tell a different story
I don't want to hear it but -

Where have you been?
