Not as they seem

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
have you ever tried to balance that beam?
and if you ever try to fit in my shoes
they'll never be quite as soft as they seem

Unabashed honesty
would be ideal
but a prophet did once say
that honesty is a lonely word
so where do we go from here
abandon ship now?
my problem is you make me melt
and I don't want to be frozen anymore

Have you ever tried to step in my shoes?
have you ever tried to balance that beam?
and if you ever try to fit in my shoes
they'll never be quite as soft as they seem
