Stepping Stone

We grew up and out of each other
Best friend, sister, and mother
Oil and water that never should've mixed
Parasitical reliance
And blind defiance
Of everything I learned as a kid

Good memories swept under the rug
Forced to wonder who you would become

I'm your stepping stone to grass on the greener side
The yearbook photo you try to hide
You sculpted parts of me that I can't remold
Carried my secrets that can't be untold
Time can heal all things
But it can't erase the me that came from
You
Oh, you

I can't write you out of my songs
Cuz there's still right in the wrong
God knows I tried to cut you out
But each lyric spells your name
And your voice makes up the refrain
Every thought is written down

Years of memories wiped away
But I still flinch at your name

I'm your stepping stone to grass on the greener side
The yearbook photo you try to hide
You sculpted parts of me that I can't remold
Carried my secrets that can't be untold
Time can heal all things
But it can't erase the me that came from
You
Oh, you
You
Oh, you

I regret the time I wasted
But we reconcile in my dreams
I hate that I'll always miss you
More than miss me
I regret the time I wasted
But we reconcile in my dreams
I hate that I'll always miss you
More than miss me

Oh
Oh

I regret all the time I wasted
But we still talk in my dreams
And I hate that I'll always miss you
More than you miss me
I regret all the time I wasted
But we still talk in my dreams
And I hate that I'll always miss you
More than you miss me
I regret all the time I wasted
But we still talk in my dreams
And I hate that I'll always miss you
More than you miss me
I regret all the time I wasted
But we still talk in my dreams
And I hate that I'll always miss you
More than you miss me
