Footsteps

     Em7
Patience could've done us well
    Bm7                                    Em7
'Cause I could tell that all we lack was presence
                              Bm7
And I would've fell, you could've helped


[Pre-Chorus]
                      Em7
But here’s to being honest
                            Bm7
Neither of us knew what we wanted
                            Em7
But all we knew is that we cared
                           Bm7
Still all we painted was a moment


[Chorus]
                   Em7
And when I walked away
                          Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
               Em7
And when I walked away
                        Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
                    Em7
You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
                  Bm7
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
                           Em7        Bm7
And then the path would wash away, wash away


[Verse 2]
 Em7
Yeah
                                                       Bm7
And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fightin'
         Em7                                  Bm7
And I really hope you still want me the way I want you
           Em7                                 Bm7
And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot
             Em7
And it's habitual to be the bitch I am, but not the chick you want
   Bm7
Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful
           Em7
Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable
 Bm7
You let the truth unfold


[Pre-Chorus]
                      Em7
But here’s to being honest
                            Bm7
Neither of us knew what we wanted
                            Em7
But all we knew is that we cared
                           Bm7
Still all we painted was a moment


[Chorus]
                   Em7
And when I walked away
                          Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
               Em7
And when I walked away
                        Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
                    Em7
You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
                  Bm7
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
                           Em7        Bm7
And then the path would wash away, wash away


[Verse 3]
          Em7
You are a vision of perfection
                       Bm7
In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessing
                 Em7
Didn't realize how it wasn't fair to compare
                    Bm7
All the things I know that I've been through
                                         Em7
As if you didn't have anything that you went through
                          Bm7                                    Em7
I treated you like medicine, but I guess I wasn't listening
                          Bm7
And you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too
                               Em7
But as long as I felt better, then it was all good
                 Bm7                                   Em7
But we wasn't good, so convinced that things were understood
                                Bm7
Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack, and I just had to admit that
    Em7
Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate
                             Bm7
And I know that I shoulda stayed

But at the time, it felt like I had to quit
                               Em7
And I know that you probably thinking

Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself
                                       Bm7
But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout, oh


[Pre-Chorus]

You could've helped
                             Em7
But still, cheers to being honest
                              Bm7
Neither of us knew what we wanted (No)
                             Em7
But all we knew is that we cared (Uh)
                             Bm7
Still all we painted was a moment (Ah)


[Chorus]
                   Em7
And when I walked away
                          Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
               Em7
And when I walked away
                        Bm7
I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me
                    Em7
You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers
                  Bm7
We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground
                           Em7        Bm7
And then the path would wash away, wash away (Wash away)
