I'm only one step ahead of heart-break
One step ahead of mise-ry
One step is all I have to take, backwards
To be the same old fool for you, I used to be
I'm only one step ahead of your arms
One kiss away from your sweet lips
I know I can't af-ford to stop, for one moment
'Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips
Your warm breath on my shoulder, keeps reminding me
That it's too soon to forget you, it's too late to be free
Can't you see?
I'm only one step ahead of your love
I try and yet I can't take two
Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards
'Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you
One step ahead is a step too far away from you
