The Last Step

It can pull you up, it can bring you down
But love, but love can make the world go round

You been playing with fire, watch my integrity burn
Cuz you know that I'll do for you what you ask in return

Climb your way to the top
Carried these burdens to watch them drop
At the last step that you take from me

You think that we've got time
But what we had was never mine
And the last step that I take will be... into eternity

Sweet temptation, it keeps pulling me in
And if you ask me for a favor I would fall again

All the rights we try to make can't change the wrongs
And I think it's time we recognize the path we're walkin on

Climb your way to the top
Carried these burdens to watch them drop
At the last step that you take from me

You think that we've got time
But what we had was never mine
And the last step that I take will be... into eternity

I know you been trying to do what you think is right
But we both know I can't fill your appetite

I don't think that I could ever ask you to change
Cuz I just want the good you got to stay the same

Climb your way to the top
Carried these burdens to watch them drop
At the last step that you take from me

You think that we've got time
But what we had was never mine
And the last step that I take will be... into eternity

You could build me up, or I could break you down
But love, our love, can't save the story now

Sometimes what we thought we knew can fall apart
But to give you up would be the end, oh the end of my heart

Climbed our way to the top
Carried these burdens to watch them drop
At the last step that we take we see

Oh, we never had the time
Fate was always going to decide
That the last step that we take will be... into eternity

Climbed so far
And the last step
Oh the last step will be
Oh the last step will be
Into eternity
