Stepping Stones

[Intro]  
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?  
[Verse 1]  
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.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
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.  
[Chorus]  
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?  
[Verse 2]  
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.  
[Pre-Chorus]  
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.  
[Chorus]  
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?  
[Bridge]  
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.  
[Outro]  
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.
