Open Road

I was once your favorite girl,
now I don’t exist anymore.
You say our lives took different paths;
it seems to me you hid the maps.
What happened to the love we shared?
Where’s the truth? Where’s the dare.
I was once your favorite girl,
but now I don’t exist anywhere.


What will I do now? Where will I go?
You’ve built yourself this new life
One that makes you whole.


All the things you loved in me,
turned out to be our enemies.
Once my laughter filled the air;
it was easy then to care.
What went wrong? Why did you stop?
Where’s the sparkle and the pop?
How did all the things you loved
turn out to be so wrong afterall?


What will I do now? Where will I go?
You’ve built yourself a new life
Leaving me the open road.


Now I wander through the hills,
walk the deserts, paddle the still
Waters that flow so freely now
and open up beneath my bow.
Who could have guess life could be
so full of newness and so free.
Now I wander through my days
hopeful and free, I exist everywhere


What will I do now? Where will I go?
Laughter still waits for me
Joy fills my soul


So what will I do today? Who will I be?
Life is an open road
My love is set free.
