Where Do We Go From Here

Alicia Keys · As I Am [2007]

My man dont want me no more

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)
