His Shoes

I remember the time 'fore you were mine
And I was dying to be in his shoes
Now he's gone away and I'm in his place
But his memory hasn't moved

The shadow he cast just grows larger than life
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife

I can't walk away but how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall, I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

He wasn't a saint so what are these chains
He holds on both of us
You give it your best but you can't forget
And my love's not strong enough

To put out a fire that someone else lit
Or walk in his footprints that never will fit

I can't walk away but how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall, I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

I can't walk away but how can I stay
Any way I step I lose
My back's to the wall, I stumble and fall
Trying to live my life in his shoes

In his shoes, in his shoes, in his shoes
I can't live my life in his shoes
No, no, no
In his shoes, no, no
In his shoes, no, no, no, no
I can't in his shoes, no, no, no
