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.
