A Step Behind

It's not so much that you left
it's that you didn't come back
It's not the pain that you felt
but the obvious ?

i was always a step behind
i was always a step behind

I wasn't watching you go
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

It wasn't really your fault
cos you made it mine too
while you were lookin' around
i was lookin' at you

i was always a step behind
i was always a step behind

The gentle release
of laying me down
and the way that it felt
to be high on yourself
finally waiting into the muse (?)

I haven't re-learned to walk
it's hard to learn now
and it wasn't the fall
it was the pushing it back

i was always a step behind
i was always a step behind

oooh i didn't see it comin' from behind
i was always a step behind
