    Lyrics for anyone that wants them.
    Are we really sure
    That a love that lasted for so long
    Still endures?
    Do I, really care?
    Hey hey
    Let's talk about the distractions going on elsewhere
    I, keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark, oh in the dark
    Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark
    Oh in the dark, hoo
    My mind
    Just now and then
    Looking down dark corridors and wonders what might have been
    Something's up ahead
    Hey, should I keep this same direction
    Or go back instead?
    I, keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark, oh in the dark
    Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark
    Oh in the dark, hoo
    Honey let's stop walking around
    When there's love lost to be found
    Aah, you Know I still care, I still care
    What's the sense in going elsewhere?
    Who feels, really sure?
    Can I really guarantee your happiness shall endure?
    Do we, really care?
    Hey hey
    Let's look at what's been happening and try to be more aware
    I, keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark, oh in the dark
    Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark
    Oh in the dark, hoo
    Let's stop walking around
    Well when there's love, lost to be found
    Oh baby, you Know, I still care, I still care
    What's the sense in going elsewhere?
    Let's stop walking around
    Well when there's love, lost to be found
    Oh baby, you Know, I still care, I still care
    What's the sense in going elsewhere?

I stumbled across this once again after thinking it didn’t hurt for all these months, and I finally just broke and cried. What’s the sense of going elsewhere? Why did she go elsewhere? I don’t know which hurts more, that there was someone else or that she just could care less about our little baby girl.
