lyrics

I'm the one who's a stepping stone to the next girl

Girl with the Cloak, They only see her when they want

I'm the one who's a stepping stone to the next girl

Girl with the cloak, they only wanted half of her

I fell asleep, dreaming of him then I woke up

I fell asleep, thinking of him then he was gone

he wasn't there, when the photo had been shot

He wasn't there, he had left when I woke up

I'm the one who's a stepping stone to the next girl

Girl with the cloak, they can unveil her when they want

They changed their mind, they couldn't handle her for long

I stand defeated, but stepping stones can give me hope
