1 step forward, 3 steps back Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're too much of a good thing
That’s one thing that I've learned
You somehow made
Another good day
Somehow that still
Struck a nerve

[Verse 2]
You got me fucked up
In the head, boy
I've never hated being happy so much
Like am I insane
Am I wrong boy?
I hate that I act as if
You had fallen out of love

[Chorus]
It’s just 1 step forward & 3 steps back
I'm the king of the world
Until you make me glad
It's always 1 step forward & 3 steps back
Should I cry, or laugh or leave you, boy
I don't understand no, I don't understand

[Verse 3]
And maybe in some sick sadistic way
I kind of find the thrill in fight
Like, tryna make you someone I can hate
Will I wave goodbye happy or
Watch you leave crying?
[Chorus]
It's just 1 step forward & 3 steps back
I'm the king of the world
Until you make me glad
It's always 1 step forward & 3 steps back
Should I cry, or laugh or leave you, boy
I don’t understand no, I don’t understand

[Bridge]
All these highs and lows
And you did nothing wrong
I'm high then low, reminiscing what just happened
Fuck these highs and lows
No, you did nothing wrong
I’m high then low, but in a way, yeah
This is all your fault

[Outro]
It's 1 step forward & 3 steps back
I'm my own worst enemy
And you're the best thing that I’ve ever had
It's always 1 step forward & 3 steps back
Should I cry, or laugh or leave you, boy
I don't understand no, I don't understand

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
