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
 When 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)
 (Follow me, follow me, follow me)
 (Follow me, follow me, follow me)
 (Follow me, follow me, follow me)
 (Follow me, follow me, follow me)
