Foot Forward
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It was built, in a day
So it fell, in a day
What do you expect?
What do you expect, what do you expect, what do you expect?
At best, we're a stretch
And a leash, won't hold my neck
I'm a mess
What do you expect, what do you expect, what do you expect?
And it's okay, I know I'll be replaced
A bitter after taste, but it's not that bad
It's okay, there's nothing to explain
Only yesterday, you weren't so sad
Keep your breathe, keep my texts
Who's next (who's next?) Who's next?
I hopе it connects, I'm not at my best
But I put my best foot forward
Foot forward, foot forward
I put my bеst foot forward
Foot forward, foot forward
What else can I do?
Foot forward, foot forward, foot forward
I put my best foot forward
Foot forward, foot forward
And it's okay, I know I'll be replaced
A bitter after taste, but it's not that bad
It's okay, there's nothing to explain
Only yesterday, you weren't so sad
Who's next
And it's okay
Who's next? I
Who's next? I
Who's next? I
Who's next? I
And it's okay
Who's next? I
Who's next? I
Who's next? I
Who's next? I
And it's okay, I know I'll be replaced
A bitter after taste, but it's not that bad
It's okay, there's nothing to explain
Only yesterday, you weren't so sad
