Your name has been on my hand in permanent marker for the past 2 weeks
I’m just waiting for the secret whisper moment where you kiss my cheek
Then my cheek will turn red and I will blush like there is no tomorrow
But, you wont look at me with that pitiful sorrow
Dont let your eyes droop and dont let your smile drown
Dont make it where there is no sound
Dont let my heart get you down in the meaning of time
Your head warned you of these signs;

(Chorus)
Why didn’t you stop yourself and see the trouble you were going to have to deal with?
Why do you bother looking into my heart of abyss?
I’m nothing special, I’m nothing grand
I’m just a footprint thats left in the sand
It fills up in time and is washed away
I rather be a footprint than a lost heart anyday
So, make a choice, am I just going for the ride?
Trust me, if thats your idea, then I wont be by your side
You’ll be alone, wishing you treated me better
I spread my wings and fly away from you like a bird without feathers
I’m just another bad intention seeking its way through your head
I’m going to repeat this, till’ you know what I have already said

Boy, why dont you listen?
You damn well know that my eyes dont always glisten
I’m not that fallen angel that you always talk about
Doesn’t everybody tell you, “live it in doubt”?
Dont get me wrong, I really do like you
I truly hope you still like me too
Maybe we can give a chance, I dont know
But, the way you treat me, can cleary show

(Chorus)
Why didn’t you stop yourself and see the trouble you were going to have to deal with?
Why do you bother looking into my heart of abyss?
I’m nothing special, I’m nothing grand
I’m just a footprint thats left in the sand
It fills up in time and is washed away
I rather be a footprint than a lost heart anyday
So, make a choice, am I just going for the ride?
Trust me, if thats your idea, then I wont be by your side
You’ll be alone, wishing you treated me better
I spread my wings and fly away from you like a bird without feathers
I’m just another bad intention seeking its way through your head
I’m going to repeat this, till’ you know what I have already said

Your name has finally washed off of my hand
I’m no longer those lonely footprints in the sand
I’m no longer using you in my head
Let me tell you, enough has been said
Before, I couldn’t sleep because you danced around my thoughts
Boy, you’re not going to last if the strangling of my heart is what you got
Get somebody else whom will be your slave
Because, I’m not the whore anyway….

(Chorus)
Why didn’t you stop yourself and see the trouble you were going to have to deal with?
Why do you bother looking into my heart of abyss?
I’m nothing special, I’m nothing grand
I’m just a footprint thats left in the sand
It fills up in time and is washed away
I rather be a footprint than a lost heart anyday
So, make a choice, am I just going for the ride?
Trust me, if thats your idea, then I wont be by your side
You’ll be alone, wishing you treated me better
I spread my wings and fly away from you like a bird without feathers
I’m just another bad intention seeking its way through your head
I’m going to repeat this, till’ you know what I have already said
