Big Shoes Lyrics

Hello, it's been a while, you know I never wanted to be your bane

Yet you're still looking for someone to blame

You can't say I've never tried

At least I'm not living a life in vain

Or out in the streets in the pouring rain

From midnight drives a teenage summer

To uniform gray of days

I won't remember, my satisfaction won't suffice

Until I sleep or watch the sunrise

You don't need to prove you're worth it

But you've gotta earn it

You know you've got big shoes to fill

And no time to kill

I might be broke, at least I know your wealth ain't nothing six feet low

My time ain't worth learning self-control

Don't pretend you know the truth

Cause knowing nothing's a breath of fresh air

To hell with your peace signs and empty prayers

Cause your brave men, your band of brothers

Leaving behind childless mothers

Oh, we thought that they were all that then

I guess that's where their fairy tale ends

Won't you prove you're worth it Cause you've gotta earn it

You know you've got big shoes to fill

And no time to kill

I don't need to prove to you I'm worth it

I've already earned it

I walk around in shoes too big to fill

And all the time to kill
