I have never meant anything to you                                                              ­You kept me around for something to do                                                        I've  said  it  before,  but  I am through                                                          It's  time  that  I  move  on  to  something new                                                              ­                                        I  gave  of  myself  one hundred percent                                                          ­   until  I broke while you never bent                                                        Thinking that you were too good for me                                                as  you chiseled away at my self-esteem                                                      ­ I  only stayed because I thought it was true                                                       that I couldn't do any better than you                                                        but  if you really are the best that I'll do                                                             that  says  more about me than about you                                                              ­                                              That  I  would sell myself short so that I                                         could  just have  someone  be by my side                                                             ­                               I'd  rather  be  alone and spend time on me                                                               ­                                                this  very  person  that  has  been hiding                                                           ­                                Sometimes  people  are  like  steppingstones                                                  ­   and  I was  meant  to follow that road                                                             ­   to take me from where I used to be                                                               ­      to undiscovered territories
