Alan Parry - Two Steps Lyrics

I've been thinking for some time to speak my mind
I've been busy getting up the nerve
Afraid of complications that are hard to see
Afraid of getting what I don't deserve
You tell me you're justified, I shake my head
Show me with your actions not your words
And still I fail to learn

Promises that patiently play tricks on me
Opportunities march and pass me by
I hate to call it bad luck, there's no one to blame
Unless of course I haven't really tried
Honesty has always been our saving grace
Only time will tell if we fall
When will we give our all?

Do I care for you, I do
I'm not as selfish as I sometimes seem
I can see what you've been through
Please don't take two steps now and walk away from me
We'll call it even what harm could there be?
Oh Yeah

Now if you don't hear what I say you don't like me
Listen hard and try to understand
Whatever we decide pass judgment easily
Just don't ignore the voice that says we can
I can see there's trouble still so take your time
Tell me and confess your every vice
With your eyes open wide

Do I care for you, I do
I'm not as selfish as I sometimes seem
I can see what you've been through
Please don't take two steps now and walk away from me
We'll call it even what harm could there be?
Oh Yeah
