I can only cover for you for so long Would it kill you to try? Giving you credit where it never belonged And you never seemed to mind No it's not what I thought it was (not what I thought it was) And you're not who I thought you would be I can't stand who you've become (can't stand who you've become) And I hate what's it doing to me Look at you go Up and away You were never even there in the first place I was a stepping stone that you left along the way It could have been better if you played along Am I wasting your time? I'm dying to see you find out you were wrong So you know that you wasted mine No it's not what I thought it was And you're not who I thought you would be I can't stand who you've become And I hate what's it doing to me Look at you go Up and away You were never even there in the first place (in the first place) I was a stepping stone that you left along the way Think of better times Put your past behind me I'm still the same kid That had your back Like you never did Take back everything you've ever stolen You're left with nothing You had everything but now you're broken You can't stop running Look at you go Up and away You were never even here in the first place I was a stepping stone that you left along the way Think of better times Put your past behind me I'm still the same kid That had your back Like you never did Just like you never did Just like you never did
