Backbone

An honest moment
A feeling I tried so hard to fight
I've been let down more than twice
By a standard you set in your mind
And through all your lies
My best intentions were heart in hand and open eyes
You pushed it all aside
With the ego that you couldn't hide

Footprints down my spine
You walk it off this time
While I waste all of mine
Returning nothing for
Giving everything inside
But I'll always be wrong and
You'll never take my side

I thought we shared a common purpose
And thought we were so much alike
But the distance turned to difference and
A mountain that I cannot climb
And all the state lines better separate
When our paths divide
Cause I don't need to repeat all these...

Footprints down my spine
You walk it off this time
While I waste all of mine
Returning nothing for
Giving everything inside
But I'll always be wrong and
You'll never take my side

I said if I can't take that place
I'll try to shoulder all the
weight you placed upon my backbone
Breaking every time you tore me down to force me out
So why is your pride worth so much more than mine?

Footprints down my spine
You walk it off this time
While I waste all of mine
Returning nothing for
Giving everything inside
But I'll always be wrong
And you'll never take my side
