EVERY STEP
You know I blamed you for everything
But yesterday I hit deep
People asked and asked when I was quiet
I couldn't give them me so I lied
With every step I take
Someone hits me in the face
With every step I take
I see them racing on my side
And I know the world is too small
But I just don't understand
why I keep answering nicely
You know I don't blame you anymore
But I'm tired and I've been wishing I could see you
When people ask and ask and smile looking at each other
I either keep quiet or I sing some words inside and some aloud
And with every step I take
I can feel the hand before it touches my arm
And when I understand what went wrong
I give up my now
And of course then I see someone
Who has suffered much more than what I have
Standing on my side on the train ride
back home without saying a word I know
The feeling we consume when breathing the scase air
I just want to hold you
I just need to see you
And when I understand what went wrong I give up my now
Cuss I've never wanted them
Cuss I'm much more than that
And I don't care what they think of me
Cuss the crazy decides who isn't normal
They talk behind my back
And I'm not as interested in them as they are in me
With every step I reaffirm how much I loved you
With every step I'm becoming the biggest antisocial human
With every step I'm wishing they could understand
that respect is the base of society
When I sat down I wished you were there
Sitting here I wish you were here with me.
