Took me a while to understand
Life's not a footprint in the sand
You made a mark upon my soul
That won’t simply wash away

I threw out everything of yours
Tried to erase all memories of you
All memories of you
And through it all I failed to see
I had you sealed inside of me
Oh sealed inside of me, Inside of me

Hold back your tears and your pride
You're the one who put caution aside

That is the danger of loving a stranger
Step back take a look at yourself

You know the reason why your
Heart's on the shelf
That is the danger of loving a stranger

I heard you found somebody new
I will admit to feeling blue
Nothing in life’s a guarantee
But I will find what's right for me
It took me quite a while to understand
Life's not a footprint in the sand
Footprint in the sand
That even angels need a little time, so
They can mend their broken wings
Mend their broken wings
And learn to fly again

We should have got to know each other
It maybe could have been much better
The next time I will think it over
Before I put my heart in danger
With a stranger, that's the danger
Got to think it over, think it over, my
Heart's in danger
