Two Steps Forward

Watching my life, like a slow motion disaster / This merry go round starts spinning faster and faster / And I can't help but feel, like the walls are closing in / And my bright side has now gone dim / I've felt this way for so long, but everyone says, I've got it wrong / Well, this disaster is epic in scale / And now I've set myself up to fail / Two steps forward, one hundred back / No strength in me left to attack / I swallow my pride and this mouthful of lies / I'd tell you the truth, but I don't have the words / Still choking on pride, I take a look deep inside / The emptiness that lies within /My heart becomes the victim / Two steps forward, one hundred back / No strength in me, left to attack / Now I won't look you in the eyes / I'm afraid you'll realize / How lost I am inside / The only thing, you need to know / All the love I failed to show /It doesn't mean I didn't care / Just goes to show, the depths of my despair / Two steps forward, one hundred back / No strength in me to repel this attack / I lie down, and embrace my fate / Don't try to save me, you know it's too late
