Worn Out Boots

I performed original songs at the New Found Sound competition and came first place

I’ll be the worn out boots if it means you’ll take me wherever you go 
I’ll be your helmet to keep you safe on the road 
I swear I’ll walk with you through sunshine and snow 
if that means you’ll let me go wherever you go 
even if concrete fades into stones 
if it gets cold I’ll give you my coat 
I just wanna be with you so 
if you let me, I’ll go wherever you go 

how did we go from pouring our hearts out 
to pretending we both don’t know each other at all? 
how did I go from holding your hand to holding a grudge so cold? 
I don’t know 
I don’t know 

was it because we were too different? 
I tried to mould but we didn’t fit 
was it my fault that I’m no therapist? 
I couldn’t solve all of your problems 

how did we go from pouring our hearts out 
to pretending we both don’t know each other at all? 
how did I go from holding your hand to holding a grudge so cold? 
I don’t know 

but you didn’t have to lead me on 
I asked if you wanted to end but you never made the call 
you pulled on the matching bracelet 
‘til there was only one thread left 
and I kept holding on 
‘til we were frayed and gone 
you should’ve cut me off 

I said I’ll be the worn out boots if it meant you’ll take me wherever you go 
said I’ll be your helmet to keep you safe on the road 
I swore I’ll walk with you through sunshine and snow 
I didn’t know we’re meant to go on separate roads 
I didn’t know we were meant to go 
on separate roads
