Why is it always me who plays the fool?
Why is it always me left nursing my wounds?
Why is it always me who sheds the blood?
I feel so weightless until I’m dragged through the mud
I knew that you were leavin’
I knew just what you’d say
I heard your footsteps even before you walked away
And you walked away,
You walked away.
But clearly I can’t avoid this same ending
Why is it always you who leaves me hurting?
The fire burned so bright but didn’t last
I tried my best, I threw in my last match
I knew that you were leavin’
I knew just what you’d say
I heard your footsteps even before you walked away
And you walked away,
You walked away.
And each time I get so close
The empty space is what hurts the most
And you said you were different
A cruel cliché that came and went
It’s okay that you’re leavin’
There’s nothing left to say
What you don’t know is
I heard your footsteps yesterday.
