Lyrics One Step Forward, Two Steps Back - Better Luck Next Time

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

She turns her head and walks away from me with tear drops in her eyes
Everyone around is thinking that I’m such an awful guy
And if I put my hand out, she would just keep going on her way
No understanding, not a reason why she isn’t here to stay
I’m seeing a world of disbelief and why it always turns on me
And now I’m getting closer to another day
When you won’t even stay in our world slipping away
The other day I went thru photographs and letters from our past
I can’t help but wonder how the Hell I thought that this could last
And if I stare much longer, I’ll begin to trust in what I know;
That opportunity will take you far, and then it’s time to go
I’m seeing a world of disbelief and why it always turns on me
And now I’m getting closer to another day
When you won’t even stay in our world slipping away
Will you read me another story?
Kill the light and I’ll be ok
And if you write me different story,
maybe I’ll listen to what you say
Will you read me another story?
Kill the light and I’ll be ok
And if you write me different story,
maybe I’ll listen to what you say
She turns her head and walks away from me with tear drops in her eyes
Everyone around is thinking that I’m such an awful guy
I’m seeing a world of disbelief and why it always turns on me
And now I’m getting closer to another day
When you won’t even stay in our world slipping away
Seeing a world of disbelief and why it always turns on me
And now I’m getting closer to another day
When you won’t even stay.
