Stepping Stones

I can't say that love is gone
Something still feels wrong
I find myself so far from you, oh
Foot in, one foot out
I chase my tail about
You analyse my every move, oh

See you don't need me now
I'll just slow you down
You can stand all on your own, oh
The love we shared was real
The secrets we revealed
I hope I was a stepping stone, oh

Because you are more yourself than when you met me
And I can say the same
I'm more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There's so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one's that help us grow
And you have done that much for me
And I hope I've been a stepping stone
Looking back on what was done
Sure, I hurt you some
Sure, you threw a few low blows, oh
But when the bruises heal
I'll take down my shield
And thank God above I know you

Because you are more yourself than when I met you
And I can say the same
I'm more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There's so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one's that help us grow
And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don't
Toss the work we've done aside
Because we're letting go
This is just a piece of life
Focus on the whole
We have come so far

Well I hope you use my back to step across the pond
And I hope by pushing off me, you will land upon
The guy who's surely out there to whom you belong
Find him now

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There's so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one's that help us grow
And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don't
Toss the work we've done aside
Because we're letting go
This is just a piece of life
Focus on the whole
We have come so far

Sing it out,
I needed, I needed
To meet you [x3]
