Ten Steps Lyrics

Lucy Love Ten Steps

Ten steps forward
a hundred steps back
only stumble once
to forever loose track
dreams go up in smoke
many get trapped
when all you want is light
your whole world’s pitch-black

I feel my feet running but I’m getting nowhere
what started out as a dream is now a nightmare
what was a friendly reflection
is now a cold stare
so in desperation I send up my last flare
it glistens in the night
then chokes on the air
my last ounce of hope just died in despair
now I’m left in the dark and that’s unfair
a lot can be mended but a heart you can’t repair

Ten steps forward
a hundred steps back
only stumble once
to forever loose track
dreams go up in smoke
many get trapped
when all you want is light
your whole world’s pitch-black

I’ve shed a million tears
gained a billion scars
only thrown two dice
but lost a trillion stars
my letters my words my pages my bars
my heart bleeds my lyrics
so now it’s raining shards
I let the joker spin the wheel
and deal all the cards
blinded by the lights
I was lead down the wrong path
where wounds never heal
and pain will never pass
I’ll stay forever broken
like shattered class

I wear my heart on my sleeve
but keep a lock on my soul

Dreams rest on my heart
so it can’t collapse
my minds holding on
but I can’t relax
the class-stairs I’m climbing
just might crack
cos everything can disappear
just like that
I can bend the truth
not realise the facts
smoke’s never thin
but my eyes always black
I wanna move forward
but drag myself back
when all I want is light
my hole world’s pitch black

Ten steps forward
a hundred steps back
only stumble once
to forever loose track
dreams go up in smoke
many get trapped
when all you want is light
your whole world’s pitch-black
