By Your Stone

I don’t know what to expect of you Something’s wrong with me and you say it’s true Never did you lie about how you feel about me Forever I’ve been captivated by your stone of set-me-free Oh, how long has it been since we’ve been young? Oh, how have you been since you’ve been in the wrong? Never had I cried so many tears before the break of dawn Forever I’ve been captivated by your stone of forever gone How long has it been? How have you been? You’re doing the same things as I did, as I did Among my thoughts, I drive myself insane again You’re taking the blame for the goodbyes I bid You’re asking yourself why we were meant to be Well, don’t cry about it and set my spirits free Cradle me throughout the night with your lullabies You sought the truth beneath my languishing lies Forget about me for a second and hold tight tonight Something’s wrong with you and it’s hurting me inside Never did you say those three words I longed to hear with might Forever losing my mind and sight over the fact that you subside Oh, how long has it been since we’ve been young? Oh, how have you been since you’ve been in the wrong? Never had I cried so many tears before the break of dawn Forever I’ve been captivated by your stone of forever gone How long has it been? How have you been? You’re doing the same things as I did, as I did Among my thoughts, I drive myself insane again You’re taking the blame for the goodbyes I bid You’re asking yourself why we were meant to be Well, don’t cry about it and set my spirits free Cradle me throughout the night with your lullabies You sought the truth beneath my languishing lies You’re so petty and it ain’t pretty I don’t hold on to anymore pity You’re full of regret and remorse This is getting so much out of course I’m done feeling for you Can’t you see I’m done with you too? You say this love is true Well, leave it to me to undo it with rue… Oh, how long has it been since we’ve been young? Oh, how have you been since you’ve been in the wrong? Never had I cried so many tears before the break of dawn Forever I’ve been captivated by your stone of forever gone How long has it been? How have you been? You’re doing the same things as I did, as I did Among my thoughts, I drive myself insane again You’re taking the blame for the goodbyes I bid You’re asking yourself why we were meant to be Well, don’t cry about it and set my spirits free Cradle me throughout the night with your lullabies You sought the truth beneath my languishing lies Forever captivated by your stone By your stone, by your stone, by your stone I want to be left alone…on my own…on my own, left alone.
