Footprints Lyrics - Our Long Road Home - Taproot

It's dark outside, 

It's cold and empty like my mind, 

But who would know, 

I can't make it right, 

I know it's on me but I can't fight, 

And i'm on my own, 

And I don't get to watch you grow, for now; 

Held back away by reality, 

The fact is all I know; 

The footprints, 

That I left, 

Were meant to lead me back to home, 

The distance, 

Between us, 

Has grown so bitter and so cold, 

The permanence of silence, 

Erodes them leaving just a hole; 

The lights are alive, 

The glare is burning in my eyes, for now, 

It's nothing like i've ever been, 

Shown in my life, but now; 

All along the path we're taking, 

Never had a chance we're breaking, 

Breaking down i've lost my bearings, 

Bearing all the cost by missing, 

Missing out on what's worth sharing, 

Leaving me with no control
