Lyrics

n the photo you look so young
and a clear gleam of hope
shines in your eyes
and i can only apologize,
apologize for what i've done

when did all your dreams
in my uncertain hands
come undone
when did you become
what you've become
what i've become

i took every step with your shadow behind me
and when i got lost i thought you'd never find me
the picture of you has come back to remind me
of all that i lost
i never let those dreams unfold
and now i'm growing old
i thought my tracks were cold

and a better man might have resisted
and a better man might have pushed through
but life has a way of wearing you down
and dreams have a way of fading out of view

you saw what i went through
and you saw how it tore me away from you
away from you
it tore me in two

so please forgive me
for the lfe i put you through
i wish i'd been a better man
a better man
a better man like you

i took every step with your shadow behind me
and when i got lost i thought you'd never find me
the picture of you has come back to remind me
of all that i lost
i never let those dreams unfold
and now i'm growing old
i thought my tracks were cold

and a better man might have resisted
and a better man might have pushed through
but life has a way of wearing you down
and dreams have a way of fading out of view

i took every step with your shadow behind me
and when i got lost i thought you'd never find me
the pictures of you have come back to remind me
of all that i lost
i never let your dreams unfold
and now i've grown old
i thought my tracks were cold
