IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS
you set out to make me doubt myself, set fire to my dreams
to mock all my thoughts and leave them to rot and change what I believe
say that I don't belong cause you want me to have nothing left
I've had no chance to think for myself, you've shadowed my stepsI've tried to get upand break away but you won't let me
I've asked myself so many times how can I move on with you still in my life
My whole life with you and the love that you've shown
was just a test of control
to keep me at bay but still push me away, with nothing to hold
now I must stand and take the love that you lacked
no longer will I wonder why, I'll just take it back And put to rest all of the pain that you caused me
don't pass me by, I won't be left to die and have my life fall apart
I've tried to get up and break away but you won't let me
so many times I've asked myself how can I move on
with your shadow in my every step? NO TIES Trapped within isolation left behind and stranded alone
to stand and fight for myself in a time when I needed you most
you're the one who brought me here and promised me with your word
but you cut me down though I thought you were real
even though I looked up to youHOW I WANTED YOU TO COME BACK
BUT YOU... BUT YOU NEVER DID
SO I... SO I TOOK ON
TOOK ON WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
So does that mean you never meant the words you said
was I the fool to believe that you'd be there
go turn your back with no regrets
leave with no ties, cause I was the fool to believe
that you'd be there, FOR ME Said that time couldn't tear us apart that it was time that would bind us tight
together for one struggle to gain back what is right
but that was the end of your era and that was my last stand
for the one I'd reach out for while the rest would smack myhand
I still believe the words you said to me
even though you will deny them now
you ran away to satisfy your greed
you brought me here but then you let me down
YOU JUST GAVE UP TO BECOME LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
SAID IT WAS TIME TO CHANGE
BUT YOU HAVEN'T GROWN UP
YOU GAINED NOTHING BY FOOLING YOURSELF
JSUT GAVE UP WHAT WAS BEHIND THE POINT OF ALL THAT WE DID BOUND
When will come the day when we find the strength to change
and tap the source of solution in a way of life where we must pay
for nothing and that's what we've earned
if you give nothing you get nothing returned
selfishness gave you time to forget
if you give nothing that's what you'll get
AND I FEEL THAT MY HANDS ARE TIED BEHIND MY BACK
LIKE THERE'S NO HOPE FOR ME OR YOU
WITH A WORLD WIDE SPREAD OF CRIME, CORRUPTION, AND HATE
CAN NO ONE STOP THE ABUSE?
AND MY HEART IS FILLED WITH SHAME
CAUSE THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO BLAME
IF THIS WORLD IS FULL OF HATE THEN
WHERE IS THE LOVE?
Everyone is out to get their own
I can't think or be left alone and there is justno peace
in a world where no respect is shown and it seems there is no end in sight
with no hope there's no light
what will happen to us?
who will judge what is wrong or right?FIGHT
FROM A WORLD LOSING HOPE
BUT WE CAN'T LET GO
THIS WORLD WILL BE INFECTED WITH PAIN
IF WE REFUSE TO CHANGE |
