Footsteps Lyrics

[Chorus]
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps

[Verse 1]
Whenever trouble comes around
Or lonely nights lead underground
And far in the dark
Abandoned cars suddenly start up
An anxious sound
As long as I hear your footsteps
In the dark
That's all I need

[Chorus]
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps

[Verse 2]
When loneliness induces fear
Like waves against a ramshackle pier
When thunder and rain
Scar the windowpane once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your footsteps
In the dark
That's all I need
[Interlude]
I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you

[Bridge]
Like a child who feels afraid
Of the dark at night
Hoping to hear a gentle touch
Turning on a welcome light
As long as I hear your footsteps
In the dark
That's all I need
As long as I hear your footsteps
In the dark
That's all I need

[Chorus]
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps in the dark
Only love will break your heart
Footsteps
Footsteps
Footsteps

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 [?]
