Leave No Man Behind Lyrics - Singles - Impossibles

Every once in awhile 

I get tangled up on my loose ends 

And I strangle myself 

On promises made to old friends 

Just once he'd like 

To take one step forward not two steps back 

Like the drops in the bucket balanced on his back 

The little things add up so fast 

In every sense of the word 

His life has become effortless 

Like pride it's easy to swallow 

But it's difficult to digest 

Just once he'd like 

To take one step forward not two steps back 

Like the drops in the bucket balanced on his back 

The little things add up so fast 

Didn't learn a thing 

You wallow and still cling 

To your mistakes 

Like they're precious memories 

Never gave enough 

Thought that you were tough 

But you were weak 

And I have no sympathies 

My opinion may not necessarily represent 

All the thoughts and attitudes of those I've grown to resent 

But from time to time I take a step back and reflect 

On the self destroying ideals I once fought to protect 

Every once in awhile 

I get tangled up on my loose ends 

And I strangle myself 

On promises made to old friends 

Just once he'd like 

To take one step forward not two steps back 

Like the drops in the bucket balanced on his back 

The little things add up so fast 

Didn't learn a thing 

You wallow and still cling 

To your mistakes 

Like they're precious memories 

Never gave enough 

Thought that you were tough 

But you were weak 

And I have no sympathies
