Hope is one of the most dangerous things in the world, but also one of the most comforting.


Every single step I took, every single mile
I walked off the beaten path
Just for you and for your smile

I encountered many trials
Adding up the numbers, calculating the math
Of every single step I took, every single mile

You say that I bewitched you, made use of my wiles
I sunk my unspoken emotions in an ice bath
Just for you and for your smile

I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t breathe, my throat filled with bile
I thought about this everyday, how you must think me daft
Every single step I took, every single mile

I kept my feelings lock and keyed, stuffed them in a file
I hid my thoughts with a laugh
Just for you and for your smile

You say that I betrayed you, that I acted with guile
My lies have brought me here to face you and your wrath
And I think of every single step I took, every single mile
Every hardship I suffered just for you and for your smile
