Apparently that's what I am
And they don't seem to give a damn
Now I sit familiar
All alone
Give them everything
Teach them the most
Even give them plenty of reasons
Reasons to boast
Their love is never meant to last all seasons
Full of deception
And blinded perception
They seek me out
Improving their lives with much clout
Alone
Again
Merely a stepping stone
Named Ben
Carry on young grasshopper
Your life's songs are worse than Cyndi Lauper's
I gave you it all
Helped you out
Showed you how to stand tall
Now you've thrown me away
Immaturely disregarded, just like your first training bras
Nothing but a stepping stone
A greater life
With me
I hoped to have shown
Now without me
It's quality has blown
Moving on
Saying so long
Citing this or that
Saying we just don't belong
You made me your stepping stone
You've moved on
And have left me all alone
I'll carry on
Continue my teachings
Trying to clean my scars from you
I'll forever be bleaching
For I am just a stepping stone
Forced to move on
Forced to be alone
Even after all the great things in life
With me you were shown
