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.
