Fading Footprints
I said it was done but only then it just begun.
I tried, no lie,
And I still wana reveal the man inside,
But this time around I messed up big time.
I never wanted you being a victim of a bullet,
But there I was...standing behind the gun targeting your
heart,
The same finger I used to point you out as my woman,
It got hooked on the trigger waiting for your soul to
drop a tear so I could pull it,
All of that was not intentional,
And I know you know that.
Looking at your eyes,
That face, that pain,
I never imagined myself hurting you like that,
But this time I brought you to tears,
I know you couldnt handle the pain no more,
Your heart was sinking in wet sand,
And I couldnt watch you like that,
So I held you tight coz you wanted to leave,
But you banged my chest and your cry flooded your
words,
With a sad voice, you told me to let go,
Pulling your wrist out of my hand with force,
I felt remorse but saw that this time...I've lost
I stood there looking like a fool not knowing what to
say,
Watching you walk away and leaving a deep cut in my
soul,
People walking by looking at me with shame,
I wont forget that day,
I walked home beating up myself,
With both my hands covering my face,
I could still smell the essence your perfume,
Damn....I still cant believe im losing you.
Our love walked peacefully on sands of time,
But I guess this time my time is up,
Your tears are coming in like a resting sea on the beach,
Where our footprints lay,
And now....I watch our footprints fade
I'm sorry I failed you boo,
You know I never wanted to lose you
I tried, no lie,
And I still wana reveal the man inside,
But this time around I messed up big time.
I never wanted you being a victim of a bullet,
But there I was...standing behind the gun targeting your
heart,
The same finger I used to point you out as my woman,
