Walking In My Shoes


Walking In My Shoes - Depeche Mode

I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to

But the lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse
Would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fates made of me

But I promise you my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer

My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through

And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
