His Shoes

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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus: x2] In his shoes In his shoes
