Finger Eleven - Walking In My Shoes Lyrics






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,
Or forgiveness for the things I do.
But before we 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've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.

Morality would frown upon,
And decency look down upon,
The scapegoat fate's made of me.
But I'll tell you now, my judge and jurors.
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.
But 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've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.

Now I'm not looking for the absolution,
Or 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've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.

You'll stumble in my footsteps.
Keep the same appointments I've kept.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.

  1. A.... ....

    People in the comments too eager to shit on something to appreciate both versions of the song.

    d.... c....

    david chinaski I really want to like the version but unfortunately couldn't agree with you more. I'm not one to dog on cover songs and normally appreciate an artist's take on a previous work. This however is extremely bland. Calls to mind your average, mediocre bar band taking a request. The pace of the song is just weird, kind of takes away the feel of the lyrics.

    david chinaski depeche mode sucks ass!!!

    d.... c....

  6. T.... ....

    Sorry guys, but this cover is better than the Depeche Mode original.

    T.... ....

    In this thread, people arguing about how a subjective something is better than a subjective something else.

    T.... ....

    Th3uNn3rV3d why are you sorry?! Strange

    T.... ....

    I like the tempo of this version more than the Depeche Mode version. Anything else I like about this is probably based on bias as this is the version I listened to first.
