[Lyrics]

 

One step forward, two steps back

It's the way of the world if you slip out of track

It's so hard to recover when you get knocked down

Can't remember what's up, just keep stumblin' around

In a lightheaded daze, 'cause you just can't admit

Just how badly you're shaken, you stop and you sit

And reflect on the past, even though it still hurts

When you just can't get over the marks that came first

And the first cuts are deep, they go straight to the core

Now you're jarred to the bone, and your pride is still sore

So you flinch at the touch, of a warm, caring hand

Because deep down inside, no you won't let them in

'Cause it hurts just to think, reminisce 'bout the past

Nothing more than a blur, it went by far too fast

Can't remember a thing, except the hurt and the pain

Cause when life gets messed up, all the hope fades away

 

Now I'm takin' two steps back

Lost in thought and struggling just to find myself

Can't move forward, can't get past

I'm lost in guilt, and I don't know where to hide myself

 

Trapped deep inside, like a long winding maze

Try to crawl through this labrynth, you count down the days

Well the light at the end's getting farther away

And more dim by the second, can't see your face

So you stare in the mirror, reflection's cracked

But the mirror is fine, just your brain feels tapped

Like it's stuck on repeat, at the end of a song

It's so sad and depressing, it will not turn off

Doesn't matter at all what the future is like,

'Cause you're already gone, and the end is in sight

Inside of your heart, all the walls tumble down

As you drop to your knees and you don't make a sound

All the pain that has come in this short span of time

Is a hint for the future, don't set things awry

As you marvel at how delicate life can be

Just know it's not all bad, but it's not easy to see

 

Now I'm takin' two steps back

Lost in thought and struggling just to find myself

Can't move forward, can't get past

I'm lost in guilt, and I don't know where to hide myself

 

Take a step back

Think things over

Pull yourself back

It's not over

 

Now I'm takin' two steps back

Moving on, 'cause time won't mend these injuries

Moving forward, I'll get past

Because I know, that changing things is up to me
