Baby Steps

Two steps forward, one step back,

It’s still one step forward, though I lose track.

Baby steps, baby steps, keep trudging along;

Baby steps, baby steps, till I ring that gong.

Lying to you to lie to myself

Cause I don’t wanna dust the cobwebs off that shelf.

Probably need to go to therapy,

Don’t wanna admit that I struggle taking care of me.

Don’t wanna admit, don’t wanna commit

But I have to do something, put on that boxing mitt.

Gotta be open, stop the lies, stop the fears;

Scared to mess it up again, there’s been too many tears.

Shut down, run away, self-destruct, replay

It’s all I've ever known, but I know the cycle must stop someday.

What future will I have? What life could we build?

I just know I won’t find out being this weak-willed.

Baby steps, baby steps, keep trudging along;

Baby steps, baby steps, till I ring that gong.
