[Verse 1]
I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I'm searching for a song tonight
I'm changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road, I took a fall
Oh, baby, why did you run away?
[Pre-Chorus]
I was there for you in your darkest times
I was there for you in your darkest night
[Chorus]
But I wonder, where were you
When I was at my worst, down on my knees?
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me?
[Post-Chorus]
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
[Verse 2]
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now, I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I was there for you in your darkest times
I was there for you in your darkest nights
[Chorus]
But I wonder, where were you
When I was at my worst, down on my knees?
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me?
[Post-Chorus]
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Ooh, oh, oh, ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah
Ah, ah, mmm, ah
Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest night
Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you, oh, in your darkest night
[Chorus]
But I wonder, where were you
When I was at my worst, down on my knees?
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me?
[Post-Chorus]
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
