It's not so much that you left It's that you didn't come back It's not the pain that you felt But the obvious lack I was always a step behind I was always a step behind It wasn't watching you go But the way that you went With a kiss on the cheek And a cheque for the rent I was always a step behind I was always a step behind It wasn't really your fault Because you made it mine too While you were looking around I was looking at you I was always a step behind I was always a step behind And I hope you remember when it comes around The gentle release of letting me down And the way that it felt To be high on yourself Blindly running into the new I haven't re-learned to walk It's hard to learn that And it wasn't the fall It was the push in the back I was always a step behind I was always a step behind I didn't see it coming up from behind I was always a step behind
