New Pair Of Shoes

Don't know where to begin, feels like every word's blasphemic That's about you, oh, does that not say everything? You're the sacredest thing and don't even want to seem it Cared about me more than you cared about yourself Like when you said "Kid, go buy yourself a new pair of shoes So you tread steadily in life no matter where you move" And you said, "Go get yourself a new jacket too So you don't have to feel the cold in what they say to you" But one day, when I wake up and you're gone These shoes will walk me to a house and not a home Scribble books full with ink, but no words will do you justice But the ones you use, well, they speak for themselves But now your voice is getting thin, and I hate knowing what love it I didn't get your eyes, but you gave me everything When you said "Kid, go buy yourself a new pair of shoes So you tread steadily in life no matter where you move" And you said, "Go get yourself a new jacket too So you don't have to feel the cold in what they say to you" But one day, when I wake up and you're gone These shoes will walk me to a house and not a home Yeah, these shoes will walk me to a house and not a home When you said "Kid, go buy yourself a new pair of shoes So you tread steadily in life no matter where you move" And you said, "Go, get yourself a warm jacket too So you don't have to feel the cold in words they say to you" But one day, when I wake up and you're gone These shoes will walk me to a house and not a home One day I'll choke back tears in a black dress No jacket in the world would melt the ice inside my chest
