Where'd You Go
♫ Fort Minor Lyrics

Where'd you go?
Where have you been and why have you been gone so long?

I miss you so
I feel so lonely without you and I wish you were here with me.

Seems like it's been forever
You have been gone for such a long time that it feels like an eternity.

That you've been gone
I'm emphasizing the fact that you've been gone and I don't know when you'll be back.

She said, "Some days I feel like shit"
She admitted that sometimes she feels really bad and doesn't know what to do.

Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit"
She confessed that sometimes she feels overwhelmed and wishes she could take a break from everything.

I don't understand why you have to always be gone
She doesn't know why you have to be away so often and wishes you could stay with her more.

I get along but the trips always feel so long
Even though she manages to get through the day, the time without you feels unbearable and never-ending.

And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone
She often waits by the phone, hoping to hear from you because it makes her feel less alone.

'Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone
She finds comfort in your voice and it helps her cope with loneliness.

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call
She feels silly for adjusting her daily schedule around your calls and wonders if it is worth it.

But when I pick up I don't have much to say
She struggles to come up with things to say when she finally talks to you.

So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
She wants to express how unfair and difficult the situation is for her.

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin'
She can't do anything but wait for your return and sometimes even wonders if it's worth it.

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career
She reaches a breaking point and tells you that she's tired of you putting your career above her and the family.

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
The whole family misses you and is wondering when you will come back.

You know the place where you used to live
She's reminiscing about the times when you used to stay with her and the family.

Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
She remembers fondly the memories of you cooking for them and having BBQs.

Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile
She recalls the good times when you threw Halloween parties for the kids and how much they enjoyed it.

But now, you only stop by every once in a while
She misses you coming around more often and notes that your visits have become infrequent.

Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time
She tries to keep herself busy and distract herself while waiting for your return.

Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
She sometimes tries to avoid thinking about you because it makes her feel more lonely.

I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way
She wants you to know that she's okay on her own and doesn't want to come across as needy.

You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say
She's letting you know that she's open to communication and wants to hear from you.

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
She reiterates how difficult the situation is for her and hopes you understand that.

Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses
She's tired of feeling angry and making excuses for your absence.

For while you're not around, and feeling so useless
She feels useless and empty when you're not around.

It seems one thing has been true all along
She realizes that one thing has been constant throughout the time you've been gone.

You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone
She understands the truth to the statement that one doesn't understand the value of something until it's taken away.

I guess I've had it with you and your career
She's fed up with the fact that you prioritize your work over her and the family.

When you come back I won't be here and you'll can sing it
She's leaving you a message that when you finally come back, she may not be there waiting for you anymore.

Please come back home
She's pleading with you to come back home and be with her and the family again.
