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 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

Look

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

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 habitual

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 blessin'

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

All the things I knew 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 should've 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

You could've helped

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 (wash away)
