New Pair Of Shoes

Don't know where to begin, feels like every word's blasphemic

That's about you, oh, does that not say everything?

You're the sacredest thing and don't even want to seem it

Cared about me more than you cared about yourself

Like when you said

"Kid, go buy yourself a new pair of shoes

So you tread steadily in life no matter where you move"

And you said, "Go get yourself a new jacket too

So you don't have to feel the cold in what they say to you"

But one day, when I wake up and you're gone

These shoes will walk me to a house and not a home

Scribble books full with ink, but no words will do you justice

But the ones you use, well, they speak for themselves

But now your voice is getting thin, and I hate knowing what love it

I didn't get your eyes, but you gave me everything

When you said

"Kid, go buy yourself a new pair of shoes

So you tread steadily in life no matter where you move"

And you said, "Go get yourself a new jacket too

So you don't have to feel the cold in what they say to you"

But one day, when I wake up and you're gone

These shoes will walk me to a house and not a home

Yeah, these shoes will walk me to a house and not a home

When you said

"Kid, go buy yourself a new pair of shoes

So you tread steadily in life no matter where you move"

And you said, "Go, get yourself a warm jacket too

So you don't have to feel the cold in words they say to you"

But one day, when I wake up and you're gone

These shoes will walk me to a house and not a home

One day I'll choke back tears in a black dress

No jacket in the world would melt the ice inside my chest
