Footprints

(Album: Distance Or Decay - 2022)

I heard you're doing better now
Because I'm not around
I never meant to drag you down
When I was falling to the ground

I heard you packed your things away
Moved to a different state
I hope you like the weather there
I hope your family's okay

I know I made it hard for you to let go
'Cause we got so tangled up
And if you make it back to where we were
With someone new, just don't forget to
Smile, and think back
Like I smile and think back on those days
I promise not to cover up those footprints that we made

I heard you're doing better now
I heard you're doing better now

I hope you're doing better now
I know it's long overdue
I wonder if you're settled down
Painting our plans with someone new
Or if you think of me like I think of you
In your old black jeans in our old back room
Where you told me that you loved me
Did you ever feel sorry?
Was I that easy to lose?

I know I made it hard for you to let go
'Cause we got so tangled up
And if you make it back to where we were
With someone new, just don't forget to
Smile, and think back
(Smile, and think back)
Like I smile and think back on those days
I promise not to cover up those footprints that we made

I heard you're doing better now
(So tangled up, the blame, the trust, so tangled up)
I heard you're doing better now
(So tangled up, the blame, the trust, so tangled up)

I'll always remember your silent surrender
I never meant to give you up
I hope you're doing better now
I hope you're doing better now

I know I made it hard for you to let go
'Cause we got so tangled up
I know I made it hard for you to let go
'Cause we got so tangled up
