The Footholds Lyrics - Singles - On My Honor

This could've been a train wreck 

A total disaster 

The end of everything that to this point mattered 

Nicks and scraped and fatal falls 

Private breakdowns and tearful calls 

Not so private now, but wasn't that the point? 

To get this story out? 

We knew this would hurt 

But never knew how loud 

This is manning up 

This is standing ground 

Because you can't move forward if the footholds give out 

Didn't mean to be such a let down 

Didn't think I'd ever have to say, 

I'm oh so sorry but I'm not sure I have 

What it takes anymore. 

Or any faith in me 

I just know I'm more vulnerable 

Than I ever thought I could be 

It's probably the best that I could say 

If I'm too old, weak or late 

This all falls in your lap 

And I don't know how to feel about that 

What qualified me for this? 

Taxing attempts at a positive influence 

That I've distorted 

That I'm still hoping to have 

Can't look at this like a let down 

Knowing the impact made 

On myself 

On anyone tied to me 

Throw it away 

The thought that things can be the same 

Eyes ahead, with past outlines empty and tucked away 

I stopped keeping track 

Of everything that I'm not getting back 

I've learned that lists like that 

Only serve to counter act 

The progress I could make 

And steps that I could take 

It's not "getting back" 

It's finally finding out 

That you can't move forward if the footholds give out
