Open Road

Chris Brown · Other Songs - Chris Brown

I should've been a better man

Instead of wasting time spending my life searching for the finer things

You always gave me another chance to make it right

But I didn't deserve, cause I didn't understand



And I feel so bad

Cause you wouldn't do the same with me

But I know what your weakness is

And you feel so bad

And now you're on an open road, so gone I'm looking back



I thought I had you on a leash

Like I could do whatever I wanted to, and I wanted to,

and you was gonna wait for me baby, noo

And now the tables have turned and now I feel like you are the master

and I'm on the strings

You're in control of me



And I feel so bad

And now you're doing it to me

Cause you know what my weakness is

And you feel so bad

And now I'm on the open road, tryna go but I'm looking back



I'm looking for her

I'm trying to find her

I really need her

I think I love her



I'm looking for her

I'm trying to find her

I really need her

I think I love her



You can blame it all on me

I know inside this because of me

Now I'm just like a hitchhiker waiting for a ride with no cars in sight



And it feels so bad

Cause you wouldn't do the same with me

But I know what your weakness is

And I feel so bad

And know you're on an open road, long gone I can't have you back



I'm looking for her

I'm trying to find her

I really need her

I think I love her



I wanna see her

I don't ever wanna leave ya

I wanna keep ya

I think I love her
