Stepping Stones

Why, oh why, do I stand here?

Every time I turn around, it's all crystal clear.

You push the limits, break the design,

Why always me, when I just wanna be kind?

Late-night calls, we're laughing out loud,

But then you step over, like you're too proud.

I let it slide, but I'm not your fool,

Thought you were my friend, but you play me as a tool.

I told you once, I told you twice,

You keep on testing, rolling the dice.

Thought we had a bond, but it’s bound to break,

You snap at my patience, for heaven's sake.

Why do I always gotta be the one

People step on, just to have their fun?

I'm only being nice, but you twist the knife,

Why am I the fool in this friend’s life?

You say it’s a joke, but I don’t find it funny,

Crossing the line like it’s all sunny.

I stand my ground, but you don’t respect,

Push me aside, like I’m just a wreck.

I told you once, I told you twice,

You keep on stepping on my heart like ice.

Thought we had a bond, but it’s bound to break,

Come on, my friend, for goodness' sake.

Why do I always gotta be the one

People step on, just to have their fun?

I'm only being nice, but you twist the knife,

Why am I the fool in this friend’s life?

Standing my ground, it’s time to confess,

I’m tired of being your mess.

You flip my words like a twisted game,

But I won't be the one to take the blame.

Why, oh why, do I stand here?

Every time I turn around, it's all crystal clear.

I’ll be kind, but I’ll draw the line,

Friend or not, I’ll take back what's mine.
