I remember the time   Before 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 the 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 try living my life in his shoes      In his shoes      In his shoes      In his shoes...
