[Intro – soft guitar]
We were wearing the wrong damn shoes
It was love at first sight from the day we met
I told my best friend, “Yeah, this is it”
He said, “Maybe she’s the one you should forget”
But I swore somehow we were a perfect fit
[Verse 1]
Late-night drives and reckless dreams
You looked better than a movie screen
I should’ve listened when he looked at me
Said, “Man, she’s not what she seems”
[Chorus]
It’s been days since I thought of you
Still got scars from the shit we went through
Now it’s finally clear to me
Why I cared if you would choose me
We never fit no matter what we’d do
Like walking miles in the wrong damn shoes
Yeah, we were wearing the wrong shoes
[Verse 2]
Started out like a movie scene
Everybody talked but they’d never seen
How fast forever can come apart
When two broken people play the part
[Pre Chorus]
Every warning I pushed aside
Every red flag I tried to hide
You kept pulling while I held tight
Till love turned into one long fight
[Chorus]
It’s been weeks since I thought of you
Less regrets with every passing truth
Now it’s making sense to me
Why your laughter cut so deep
We never fit no matter what we’d do
Like walking miles in the wrong damn shoes
Yeah, we were wearing the wrong shoes
[Bridge – stripped down]
Now the story’s one I don’t retell
A cheap romance dressed up like hell
There were cracks I refused to see
Turns out you were never meant for me
[Bride - starts to build]
Now your memory fades with time
Another sad song, another bad rhyme
Guess some hearts just lose their spark
And some flames die in the dark
[Final Chorus – huge gang vocals]
It’s been months since I thought of you
Got a whole new life I’m walking to
Now it’s obvious to me
It was always gonna end this way
We never fit no matter what we’d do
Like walking miles in the wrong damn shoes
[Gang Vocals]
WRONG DAMN SHOES!
WRONG DAMN SHOES!
Yeah, we were wearing the wrong shoes
