His Shoes

Any way I step I lose
I can't walk away but how can I stay
He holds on both of us
But his memory hasn't moved

How can the past cut two hearts like a knife
Now he's gone away and I'm in his place
I can't live my life in his shoes
Any way I step I lose
To put out a fire that someone else lit

He wasn't a saint so what are these chains
My back's to the wall, I stumble and fall
In his shoes, no, no
Any way I step I lose
I can't walk away but how can I stay
My back's to the wall, I stumble and fall

I can't walk away but how can I stay

My back's to the wall, I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes
In his shoes, no, no, no, no
You give it your best but you can't forget
In his shoes, in his shoes, in his shoes
Trying to live my life in his shoes
No, no, no
Trying to live my life in his shoes

The shadow he cast just grows larger than life
Or walk in his footprints that never will fit

And my love's not strong enough
