stone

you ask me what does it take
to turn a man like me
and a heart like mine
into stone

i push you away, you push back
i run, you run a little faster
i hide, you always find me
i fall, you're there to catch me

you are everything
i would need
if i was wanting love
and you are everything
i would want
if i was needing love

you confess your love
under the backdrop
of a million cheesy love songs
that play on the radio at 1am
stuff our parents were probably listening to
back in the day
when they fell in love

despite my lack of compassion
you are still the most beautiful sunset
my bitter eyes have ever witnessed
and i wish had the courage
to hold you in my arms
brave the cold of the night
and bask in the warmth
of the sunrise of our love
but I've heard too many promises
beared too many cold nights
waiting for that sunrise that never came
and my heart has long since turned
into stone

still you wonder why
i don't feel the same
why
i push you away

you ask me what does it take
to turn a man like me
and a heart like mine
into stone

I'm sorry, but my heart
found its Medusa
a long time ago...
