Stepping stone

I'm a stepping stone and you step on me
Step on me 'til the day you're free
I'm a path in the middle
I'm the little trail to your destination

I'm a stepping stone underneath your heel
And you don't know how that makes me feel
And you go when you're ready
I'll be steady
Listening to your realization

You use me to find your way in the dark
And then you leave

Ahhh, ahhh

I'm a stepping stone in a row of stones
Ain't nothing here I can call my own
And we all look the same to you
Grey to you
So you keep on walking

But did I not leave a mark on you?
Now that I'm not holding up your shoe?
You dragged me thru the mud so you could find yourself--
Oh, please stop talking

You used me to find your way in the dark
But what of me?

I was your guinea pig
For too long, funny girl
I was your guinea pig
Now I'm out here in the world

Ahhh, ahhh (ooh-oohoo-hoo! ooh-oohoo-hoo!)
I'm your stepping stone

You used me to find your way in the dark
And you used her, I know you played with her heart
Just promise me
You won't do it
Again
