Footsteps lyrics

Patience could've done us well

'Cause I could tell that all we lack was presence

Then I would've fell, you could've helped

But here's to being honest, uh

Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh

But all we knew is that we cared, uh

Still all we painted was a moment, uh

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers

We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground

And then the path would wash away

Wash away

Look

And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fighting

And I really hope you still want me the way I want you

And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot

And it's a bitch you want me

The bitch I am, but not the chick you want

Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful

Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable

You let the truth unfold

But still, cheers to being honest, uh

Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh

But all we knew is that we cared, uh

Still all we painted was a moment, uh

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers

We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground

And then the path would wash away

Wash away

You are a vision of perfection

In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessin'

Didn't realize how it wasn't fair (fair) to compare (-pare)

All the things I knew that I've been through (been through)

As if you didn't have anything that you went through

I treated you like medicine (I treated you like medicine)

But I guess I wasn't listening (no, when you)

When you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too

But as long as I felt better, then (I felt better) it was all good

But we wasn't good (wasn't good, so)

So convinced that things were understood (thing were understood, yeah)

Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack

And I just had to admit that (I just had to admit that, yeah)

Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate (inadequate)

And I know that I should've stayed

But at the time, it felt like I had to quit (I had to quit, yeah)

And I know that you probably thinking

Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself

But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout

You could've helped (uh)

But still, cheers to being honest, uh

Neither of us knew what we wanted, no

But all we knew is that we cared, uh

Still all we painted was a moment (ah)

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

You're so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers

We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground

And then the path would wash away

Wash away (wash away)
