Where were you when I was growing up?
You said that you loved me too much
I know you'll always be here in the back of my head
Ripped off in a torn up summer dress
Red wine trickling down on my lips
I'm out of things to tell you
I'm out of time, where were you?

Get back, I know, you see it happened once again
Step back, I know
You wanna tell me how I can't stay here...

Sweep it up under the rug
Where were you when I was getting drunk?
Give it up, don't give up, all in all, it's not enough

And now I'm wasted here
(I'm wasted waiting wasted)
I'll take my time 'cause I am older
Take my pride, and take the cake
You'll be fake and I'll be faking


Get back, I know, you see it happened once again
Step back, I know
You wanna tell me how I can't stay here...

Sweep it up under the rug
Where were you when I was getting drunk?
Give it up, don't give up, all in all, it's not enough

Sweep it up under the rug
Where were you when I was throwing up?
Give it up don't give up
All in all, it's not enough

Ahhhh la la la la lala lala lala laala oooooh aaah

God help me
Oh help me
I've drank enough for twenty
I'm sinking, I'm spinning
Where were you when I was getting drunk?
Oh help me
Oh help me
I've drank enough for twenty
Where were you when I was getting drunk?
Where were you when I was growing up?
