Leave No Man Behind by The Impossibles Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every once in a while
I get tangled up on my loose ends
And I strangle myself
On promises made to old friends
Just once he'd like
To take one step forward, not two steps back
Like the drops in the bucket
Balanced on his back
The little things add up so fast
[Verse 2]
In every sense of the word
His life has become effortless
Like pride it's easy to swallow
But difficult to digest
Just once he'd like
To take one step forward, not two steps back
Like the drops in the bucket
Balanced on his back
The little things add up so fast
[Chorus]
You didn't learn a thing
You wallow and still cling
To your mistakes
Like they're precious memories
You never gave enough
You thought that you were tough
But you were weak
And I have no sympathies
[Bridge]
My opinion may not necessarily represent
All the thoughts and attitudes of those I've grown to resent
But from time to time I take a step back to reflect
On the self destroying ideals I once fought to protect
[Verse 3]
Every once in a while
I get tangled up on my loose ends
And I strangle myself
On promises made to old friends
Just once he'd like
To take one step forward, not two steps back
Like the drops in the bucket
Balanced on his back
The little things add up so fast
[Chorus]
Didn't learn a thing
You wallow and still cling
To your mistakes
Like they're precious memories
You never gave enough
You thought that you were tough
But you were weak
And I have no sympathies
Every once in a while
I get tangled up on my loose ends
And I strangle myself
On promises made to old friends
Just once he'd like
To take one step forward, not two steps back
Like the drops in the bucket
Balanced on his back
The little things add up so fast
[Verse 2]
In every sense of the word
His life has become effortless
Like pride it's easy to swallow
But difficult to digest
Just once he'd like
To take one step forward, not two steps back
Like the drops in the bucket
Balanced on his back
The little things add up so fast
[Chorus]
You didn't learn a thing
You wallow and still cling
To your mistakes
Like they're precious memories
You never gave enough
You thought that you were tough
But you were weak
And I have no sympathies
[Bridge]
My opinion may not necessarily represent
All the thoughts and attitudes of those I've grown to resent
But from time to time I take a step back to reflect
On the self destroying ideals I once fought to protect
[Verse 3]
Every once in a while
I get tangled up on my loose ends
And I strangle myself
On promises made to old friends
Just once he'd like
To take one step forward, not two steps back
Like the drops in the bucket
Balanced on his back
The little things add up so fast
[Chorus]
Didn't learn a thing
You wallow and still cling
To your mistakes
Like they're precious memories
You never gave enough
You thought that you were tough
But you were weak
And I have no sympathies
