Songtext This step alone Elliott Yamin

This step alone

It's takin' it's toll girl
This silence is cold
We're stuck at a dead end
I'm startin' to wonder
Did I say something wrong?

I keep askin' the question
Will you turn around and come with me?
Or should I read the signs and leave and let you be?
Now I'm standin' at this roadblock
And there's no way around it
I've been waitin' for your mind to change
Cause I feel so one sided

I saw us break
I watched us fall
It made no sense to me at all
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step alone
In my heart of hearts
I always knew
This jump was way too far for you
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step
I'm gonna take this step alone, alone

So give me a reason
Why you're on the outside
When you should be in
When we'll get together
So maybe it's better
I walk alone but you'll always be near

Now there's no room for settlin'
I gotta do this, I need to
But this mirror I'm lookin' in
There's no reflection without you

Cause I saw us break
I watched us fall
It made no sense to me at all
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step alone
In my heart of hearts
I always knew
This jump was way too far for you
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step
I'm gonna take this step alone

The sanctity I found deep in your arms
It was a false alarm and it burns yeah it hurts
I lie awake at night and think of what we could have been if it worked
Then we chose to go our separate ways instead of meeting each other halfway
And if I had to choose girl, I'd have you by my side

I saw us break
I watched us fall
It made no sense to me at all
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step alone
In my heart of hearts
I always knew
This jump was way too far for you
You say that you will
But then you don't
So I'm gonna take this step
I'm gonna take this step alone, alone, alone
I'm gonna take this step alone, all alone
