Foot Forward Lyrics

(Metro)

It was built in a day
So it fell in a day
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
What do you expect?

At best, we're a stretch
And a leash won't hold my neck
I'm a mess
What do you expect?
What do you expect?
What do you expect?

And it's okay
I know I'll be replaced
A bitter aftertaste
But it's not that bad
It's okay
There's nothing to explain
How only yesterday
You weren't so sad

Keep your breath
Keep my texts
Who's next? (who's next?)
Who's next?
I hope I connect
I'm not at my best
But I put my best foot forward

Foot forward
Foot forward
I put my best foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward
What else can I do?
Foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward
I put my best foot forward
Foot forward
Foot forward

And it's okay
I know I'll be replaced
A bitter aftertaste
But it's not that bad
It's okay
There's nothing to explain
How only yesterday
You weren't so sad

Who's next? (and it's okay)
Who's next? ah
Who's next? ah
Who's next? ah, ah
Who's next? ah (and it's okay)
Who's next? ah

And it's okay
I know I'll be replaced
A bitter aftertaste
But it's not that bad
It's okay
There's nothing to explain
How only yesterday
You weren't so sad
