It's that you didn't come back
It's not the pain that you felt
But the obvious lack
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
verse 2
But the way that you went
With a kiss on the cheek
And a cheque for the rent
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
verse 3
It wasn't really your fault
Because you made it mine too
While you were looking around
I was looking at you
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
Bridge
When it comes around
The gentle release
Of letting me down
And the way that it felt
To be high on yourself
verse 4
I haven't relearned to walk
It's hard to learn that
And it wasn't the fall
It was the push in the back
I was always a step behind
I was always a step behind
Ohh, I didn't see it coming up from behind
I was always a step behind
