A Heart Made of Stone

If my lips could really tell you The things I feel inside I wouldn't be the one To run away and hide. If your mirror had double vision And you could see the way you are Your fake smile and cocky attitude Wouldn't get you very far. All those things you say If you could hear how stupid they sound You might be so embarrassed That you wouldn't stick around. You play the poor, poor me game But when push comes to shove You cant play a game of catch Without a ball and glove. You get what you put in Thats what your getting back Not an ounce of care from me It's my turn to slack. I'll forget you need a smile Forget you need a kiss Forget your lying next to me, Forget that you exist. Pretend I live alone and only for myself I'll put the love I have for you In the closet on a shelf. I'll only pull you out When I feel I'm getting lonely Which would probably never happen If someone else was my one and only. If I throw out all your pictures I might forget your face If I move to somewhere else I might forget this place. I will always remember, The way you made me feel. And I will always remember, That your heart is made of steel. I'll find someone to love me, But you'll always be alone. It's impossible to love someone Who's heart is made of stone.
