Lyrics of Footsteps (feat. Musiq Soulchild) by Kehlani,Musiq Soulchild
intro
Patience could've done us well
'Cause I could tell that
All we lack was presence
And I would've fell
You could've helped
pre-chorus
But here's to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment
chorus
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
chorus
You're so bad at holding water
Slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning
It would hit the ground
And then the path
Would wash away
Wash away
verse
Yeah
And I really wanna work this
Out 'cause I'm tired of fightin'
And I really hope you still
Want me the way I want you
And it really feels like this
Shit been on autopilot
And it's a bitch you want me
The bitch I am
But not the chick you want
Residual damage left in
Place of what was beautiful
Excuses only work when what
We've done is still excusable
You let the truth unfold
pre-chorus
But still, cheers to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted
But all we knew is that we cared
Still all we painted was a moment
chorus
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water
Slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning
It would hit the ground
And then the path would
Wash away, wash away
verse
You are a vision of perfection
In my eyes, I was caught
Up in a blessing
Didn't realize how it
Wasn't fair to compare
All the things I know that
I've been through
As if you didn't have anything
That you went through
I treated you like medicine
But I guess I wasn't listening
When you tried to explain
That you had hurt and pain, too
But as long as I felt better
Then it was all good
But we wasn't good
So convinced that things
Were understood
Meanwhile, I had baggage to unpack
And I just had to admit that
Still dealing with the battles
Feeling so inadequate
And I know that I shoulda stayed
But at the time, it felt like I had to quit
And I know that you probably thinking
Just I ain't thinking 'bout myself
But you still playing in my head
To this day talking 'bout, oh
pre-chorus
You could've helped
But still, cheers to being honest
Neither of us knew what we wanted (No)
But all we knew is that we cared (Uh)
Still all we painted was a moment (Ah)
chorus
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
And when I walked away
I left footsteps in the mud
So you could follow me
You're so bad at holding water
Slips right through your fingers
We'd both end up drowning
It would hit the ground
And then the path would wash away
Wash away (Wash away)
outro
(Follow me, follow me, follow me)
(Follow me, follow me, follow me)
(Follow me, follow me, follow me)
(Follow me, follow me, follow me)
