I can't say that love is gone

Something still feels wrong

I find myself so far from you

Foot in, one foot out

I chase my tail about

You analyse my every move

See you don't need me now

I'll just slow you down

You can stand all on your own

The love we shared was real

The secrets we revealed

I hope I was a stepping stone

Because you are more yourself than when you met me

And I can say the same

I'm more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know

This is not a waste of time

There's so much more below

The surface we all search to find

The one's that help us grow

And you have done that much for me

And I hope I've been a stepping stone

Looking back on what was done

Sure, I hurt you some

Sure, you threw a few low blows

But when the bruises heal

I'll take down my shield

And thank God above I know you

Because you are more yourself than when I met you

And I can say the same

I'm more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know

This is not a waste of time

There's so much more below

The surface we all search to find

The one's that help us grow

And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don't

Toss the work we've done aside

Because we're letting go

This is just a piece of life

Focus on the whole

We have come so far

Well I hope you use my back to step across the pond

And I hope by pushing off me, you will land upon

The guy who's surely out there to whom you belong

Find him now

And oh, I just want you to know

This is not a waste of time

There's so much more below

The surface we all search to find

The one's that help us grow

And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don't

Toss the work we've done aside

Because we're letting go

This is just a piece of life

Focus on the whole

We have come so far

Sing it out,

I needed, I needed

To meet you
