Footprints

They said you'd be better off without me
But I feel everything but better off without you
I'll fake a laugh
Put on a smile cause

It's a stupid little thing people do
Needing people who don't need you

I was a footprint in the snow to you
The snow left and you left too
To me, you were a footprint on wet concrete
And it solidified on me

I was a footprint in the sand, I know
The tide came and I watched you go
You were a new Banksy that I can't touch
Then you left, now I'm left with us

And I would wish that on no one
Being something to someone
Who was everything and everyone
To me

You said I'd be better off without you
But it's been months now, it's been years now
And I can't forget you
How long should it take
How long should it take cause

It's a stupid little thing people do
Wanting people who don't want you

I was a footprint in the snow to you
The snow left and you left too
To me, you were a footprint on wet concrete
And it solidified on me

I was a footprint in the sand, I know
The tide came and I watched you go
You were a new Banksy that I can't touch
Then you left, now I'm left with us

And I would wish that on no one
Being something to someone
Who was everything and everyone
To me

Everyone
To me
Everyone

I'm scared to think
Maybe I'm not the one
Who got away
I was just in line
Holding someone else's place
And I was killing time
Didn't realise till it's too late

For you, I'd turn water to wine
With a gun at my head
And tattoo a cross on my hand
And come back from the dead
The dead
If that's what you wanted

If that's what you wanted
If that's what you wanted

I was a footprint in the snow to you
The snow left and you left too
To me, you were a footprint on wet concrete
And it solidified on me

I was a footprint in the sand, I know
The tide came and I watched you go
You were a new Banksy that I can't touch
Then you left, now I'm left with us

And I would wish that on no one
Being something to someone
Who was everything and everyone

To me
