My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You

Lyrics

I might say that I don't care

Hold my head up in the air

Even tell my friends I'm glad that you don't call

But when the day is through

That's when my heartaches start anew

And that's when I miss you most of all

And my arms keep reaching for you

And my eyes keep searching for you

And my lips keep calling for you

And my shoes keep walking back to you

No matter how much I pretend

I wish I had you back again

'Cause nothing else means half as much as you

My world just seemed to die

The day you said goodbye

And I can't forget no matter what I do

And my arms keep reaching for you

And my eyes keep searching for you

And my lips keep calling for you

And my shoes keep walking back to you

And my shoes keep walking back to you
