Lyrics
Verse 1
Walking down these broken streets,
Worn out shoes beneath my feet.
Every mile remembers you,
Every step feels far too true.
Verse 2
Storefronts glow with another life,
Mine’s been hollowed by the strife.
I keep moving, I keep the pace,
But all I see is your face.
Chorus
Worn out shoes,
Carry my blues.
Every step, every mile,
I feel your truths.
I loved you deep, I loved you long,
Now my worn out shoes carry my song.
Bridge
If love is distance,
Then I’ve walked too far.
Final Chorus
Worn out shoes,
Walking alone.
Heart still beating,
But the path is stone.
Outro
Worn out shoes…
