one step forward, two steps back

one step forward, two steps back

facing the right way, but moving the wrong one

there isn’t anything you can do

try as you might to repair it

one step forward, two steps back

one step forward, two steps back

you try a little bit more to work on what you’ve been going through

you try a little bit more to be the person who they need

maybe not the one they want

one step forward, two steps back

one step forward, two steps back

there’s obviously a bit of tension now

there’s obviously a lot different

there’s a clear shift in the dynamic

things don’t come as easy as they used too

one step forward, two steps back

one step forward, two steps back

hoping one day you can turn it around

knowing deep down that it will probably stay like this forever

not knowing which impulse to believe

you’ve got enough going on right now

one step forward, two steps back

one step forward, two steps back

one step forward
