Where Do We Go From Here
Alicia Keys · As I Am [2007]
He said he needed his time
to clear his mind
mean while im doin' fine
We're at the crossroads my dear
where do we go from here
maybe you wont go maybe you'll stay
all i know im gonna miss you either way
its such a lonely road
where do we go from here
all i can do is follow the tracks of my tears
oh
when i cry your name am i calling in vain
or am i waiting only to drown in pain
dont you do it no said dont you leave me this way
I dont know if I could lift my head and face another day
its such a lonely road
where do we go from here
all I can do is follow the tracks of my tears
usually not the kind of girl thats lost and looking for directions
tell me who could this be staring at me
when im looking in the mirror tryin to find a resolution
were too far gone to find our way home
where do we go from here
all I can do is follow the tracks of my tears
where do we go from here(maybe you wont go maybe youll stay)
all I can do is follow the tracks of my tears (either way)
