[Verse 1]
It's never enough to say I'm sorry
It's never enough to say I care
But I'm caught between what you wanted from me
And knowing that if I give that to you, I might just disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody wins when everyone's losing

[Chorus]
It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do, you're always mad
And I, I can't change your mind
I know, it's like tryin' to turn around on a one-way street
I can't give you what you want and it's killing me
And I, I'm starting to see, maybe we're not meant to be

[Verse 2]
It's never enough to say I love you
No, it's never enough to say I try
It's hard to believe that there's no way out for you and me
And it seems to be the story of our life

[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody wins when everyone's losing
[Chorus]
Oh, it's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I, I can't change your mind
I know, it's like tryin' to turn around on a one-way street
I can't give you what you want and it's killing me
And I, I'm starting to see, maybe we're not meant to be

[Bridge]
There's still time to turn this around
You and me building this up instead of tearing it down
But I keep thinking maybe it's too late

[Chorus]
It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I, I can't change your mind
I know, it's like tryin' to turn around on a one-way street
I can't give you what you want and it's killing me
And I, I finally see, baby we're not meant to be

[Outro]
It's like one step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I, baby, I'm sorry to see, maybe we're not meant to be
