Footsteps (feat. Musiq Soulchild)

Patience could've done us well

'Cause I could tell that all we lack was presence

And I would've fell, you could've helped

But here’s to being honest

Neither of us knew what we wanted

But all we knew is that we cared

Still all we painted was a moment

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers

We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground

And then the path would wash away, wash away

Yeah

And I really wanna work this out 'cause I'm tired of fightin'

And I really hope you still want me the way I want you

And it really feels like this shit been on autopilot

And it's a bitch you want me

The bitch I am, but not the chick you want

Residual damage left in place of what was beautiful

Excuses only work when what we've done is still excusable

You let the truth unfold

But still, cheers to being honest

Neither of us knew what we wanted

But all we knew is that we cared

Still all we painted was a moment

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers

We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground

And then the path would wash away, wash away

You are a vision of perfection

In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessing

Didn't realize how it wasn't fair to compare

All the things I know that I've been through

As if you didn't have anything that you went through

I treated you like medicine, but I guess I wasn't listening

And you tried to explain that you had hurt and pain, too

But as long as I felt better, then it was all good

But we wasn't good, so convinced that things were understood

Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack, and I just had to admit that

Still dealing with the battles, feeling so inadequate

And I know that I shoulda stayed

But at the time, it felt like I had to quit

And I know that you probably thinking

Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself

But you still playing in my head to this day talking 'bout, oh

You could've helped

But still, cheers to being honest

Neither of us knew what we wanted (no)

But all we knew is that we cared (uh)

Still all we painted was a moment (ah)

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

And when I walked away

I left footsteps in the mud so you could follow me

You’re so bad at holding water, slips right through your fingers

We'd both end up drowning, it would hit the ground

And then the path would wash away, wash away (wash away)
