Footprints

Did I ever know you? - That's the saddest thing of all
In my mind I'm holding you
Been a long time since the fall
I can't embrace a memory, I couldn't even say goodbye
Only left me with one question, and that's: why?

There were footprints in the snow
You'd come 'round late at night
You knew the door was always open, but you never came inside
Now I'm standing by a cold, grey stone, all alone like you
Don't tell me love's a mystery
I'm feeling so confused, so confused

You told me 'bout a heart of stone, said you could throw it through these pains
Hoping to be rescued, still a prisoner of your shame
You said bleeding was so easy, but to ever take the blame was like swallowing hot coals and spitting...spitting out the flames
Tried to show my love for you - now its just too late?
Why did you...why did you have to make the last mistake?
The last mistake
