Footsteps (feat. Musiq Soulchild)

Patience could've done us well

'Cause I could tell

That all we lack was presence

Then I would've fell

You could've helped

But here's to bein' honest, uh

Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh

But all we knew is that we cared, uh

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 holdin' water

Slips right through your fingers

We both end up drownin'

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 habitual to be 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 bein' honest, uh

Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh

But all we knew is that we cared, uh

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 holdin' water

Slips right through your fingers

We both end up drownin'

It would hit the ground and then the path would wash away

Wash away

Uh, you are a vision of perfection

In my eyes, I was caught up in a blessin'

Didn't realize how it wasn't fair

To compare all the things I knew that I've been through

That's if you didn't have anything  that you went through

I treated you like medicine

But I guess I wasn't listenin'

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 dealin' with the battles, feelin' 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 prolly think I'm just out here thinkin' 'bout myself

But you still playin' in my head to this day, talkin' 'bout

You could've helped

But still, cheers to bein' honest, uh

Neither of us knew what we wanted, uh

But all we knew is that we cared, uh

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 holdin' water

Slips right through your fingers

We both end up drownin'

It would hit the ground and then the path would wash away

Wash away
