Every Step lyrics - Charlie Winston

I'm a fool to be kind to you:

It's not what the men in your life tend to do

Must be so strange; finding someone

who only accepts you

Rejection's a lesson you've had

You're lost in the anger you feel for your dad

But, oh, how he loves you,

There's no doubt

With all his high hopes for you

I could push you away

I could say I don't want you no more

I could drive you right into the floor

And tell you you're useless;

Get used to it lady

But I'm big in believing that, baby, you're bigger than that

It's respect for yourself that you lack

And success; it's a mood that you choose

With every step

I want to grow old with you

To hold your old hand and look back on our youth

I will be strong. Times I might not

I'm only human

I could push you away

...

With every step

So, be free like a bumble bee

Spread wings like a bird

Squawk like a peacock and

Let your voice be heard, it's OK

I have no lock, key or a cage

You've got to want to stay

I won't push you away

I won't say I don't want you no more

I won't drive you right into the floor

But I'll tell you you're beautiful;

Get on with it lady

Coz I'm big in believing that, baby,

you're bigger than that

It's respect for yourself that you lack

And success; it's a mood that you choose

With every step

So take a step

It's just step by step
