Where were you

I was a backing track
Saving my green voices back
Disguising the obvious
That I had no one to sing for
I lived in a paper bin
Which I lay curled up and forgotten in
With an unfinished lovers sin
Tattooed on my forehead

Oh oh oh
Where were you
Had I known you then
The outcome would have been better

I got used to the treadmill love
Where no matter how fast you run
You're stuck at the starting point
Only exhausted

I was an anonymous author
Of songs I not dare to share
Lacking the audience
Of a lovers ear

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Where were you
Had I known you then
The outcome would have been better

You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented this
You could have prevented ...

Oh oh oh
Where were you
Had you known me then
The outcome would have been better
