Footprints on My Back Lyrics

Reach for help, my heart and mind commands
Cry for help, my first and last mistake
They don't care, it seems crystal clear now
Praying for help, won't do anything this time

How many times will I sing the same tune?
Nothing will change and nothing I can do
No one to count on or to rely on
How many times ‘till I
See what's on their mind
Promising friendship all I ever wanted all I ever needed
I've done my best not to let anyone down
And what did I get in return?

My back painted with footprints
I can feel their breath on my neck
Go ahead
Kick me when I'm down, down x7

Vultures circling around my wounds
I can feel their lust for my flesh
Go ahead, kick me when I'm down, down x7

Sure they are looking but they are not seeing
Sure they can listen but they cannot hear
Please just this time don't ignore me in my time of need
How many times ‘till I
I get that not only they will not help me
Just searching more ways so they can hurt me
But I'm prepared to give you one more chance to make things right

My back painted with footprints
I can feel their breath on my neck
Go ahead, kick me when I'm down, down x7

Vultures circling around my wounds
I can feel their lust for my flesh
Go ahead, kick me when I'm down, down x7

Down, Down, Down, Down, Down

After all this time, a question in my mind
After all this time, is this, is this friendship motherfucker?
