one step forward (two steps back)

every time i try to get a break

it's unlucky

find myself

center stage

when i think i'm on the right track

i take one step forward and two steps back

every time i try to get ahead

there's lots a people that are being mislead

that is why what i'm wearing is black

i take one step forward and two steps back

i can't seem to find it

can't even see the trees

am i hard pressed in the knees?

i struggle for this one

reach out for that

i take one step forward and two steps back

one step forward and two steps back

i take one step forward and two steps back

yeah
