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?
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
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?
All the roads you took came back to me
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
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
Because something strange has come over me
Now I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you, ooh
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
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?
All the roads you took came back to me
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
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah
Oh, oh, mmm, ah
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights
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?
All the roads you took came back to me
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

Speaking from experience it sucks, the whole feeling of being let down and abandoned. Hell my life was a combination of this and one more night for three years on and off. Finally burned the map and picked a random road to walk down.
It could be that, or that by "where were you, when I was at my worst down on my knees" Adam is apologizing for whatever he did to Behati that was regrettable
Maps could the ways she got to him through the troubled relationship
So he’s following the same routes to be with her.
If the video is supposed to make the song clearer
Then seems like he was there till the end but she seems to be dead ( meaning even though she took the roads that came to him she s Still finished. They show her dead not gone off somewhere.
If you don’t watch the video he seems very persistent in his chase for her. He is followin Almost stubbornly singing
Where were you when I need you
I am coming to you anyways .
You laid out the map that leads to you.
Don't feel like explaining it any further than that.
It states:
But I wonder where were you?When i was at my worst,down on my knees
i think 'down on my knees' means they were begging for help but there partner didnt care.
