Two Steps Back

Lyrics

Verse 1
One step forward, two steps back
But I keep pushing through the cracks
My situation hurts right now
I been low, but I’m still around

Thought I was better off in a tent
Cold ground, broke down, rent went
But I shake my head, I won’t fold
Still got fire in my soul

Pre-Chorus
When the dark gets loud
I don’t bow down
Hands on the wheel
I stay in my lane now

Chorus
One step forward, two steps back
Still I move, still I move like that
I said no, I said no
When the devil came close, I told him go
One step forward, two steps back
Still I rise when they want me flat
I said no, I said no
I keep pushing, pushing, watch me grow

Verse 2
Drugs came knocking at my door
I heard that call, I wanted more
But I turned them down, said no, not me
I want a life that’s clean and free

I got scars, yeah, I got proof
I got nights I had to outlast too
Now I walk with my head held high
Even tears can’t mute my fight

Pre-Chorus
When the dark gets loud
I don’t bow down
Hands on the wheel
I stay in my lane now

Chorus
One step forward, two steps back
Still I move, still I move like that
I said no, I said no
When the devil came close, I told him go
One step forward, two steps back
Still I rise when they want me flat
I said no, I said no
I keep pushing, pushing, watch me grow

Bridge
If I break, I bend
Then I stand again
Took the hit, took the sting
Still I’m made for this thing

One step forward
Two steps back
I’m still here
And that’s a fact

Chorus
One step forward, two steps back
Still I move, still I move like that
I said no, I said no
When the devil came close, I told him go
One step forward, two steps back
Still I rise when they want me flat
I said no, I said no
I keep pushing, pushing, watch me grow
