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
