Lyrics
I feel so alone More than before I feel like I have a concussion As reality hits me in the head like a bag of stones that came from a house that she and I were building I feel like I’m being pathetic Holding onto a dream that is dead Why can’t love just ever seem to stay? It seems so unnecessary to have to throw it all away Don’t tell me that’s life Don’t f*** ing tell me that I don’t want something that no one’s ever had before I just want something that lasts Someone who lasts Circumstances that last And don’t try to tell me that I’ve not tried enough I’ve probably tried too much How can two people be so madly in love with each other, and then one heart just stops? That’s life I know that But it doesn’t have to stop That’s not how it has to be I thought I had found that person That last person The last one I’ll find them Then they will die I am not meant to have anyone for too long Don’t I deserve it? Am I not good enough? I give my love And my loyalty And my trust And my care And everything Yet it’s not enough They say people are like stepping stones. I am that stone I am going nowhere I’m stuck in this river bed I will be stepped on And forgotten No matter how supportive I was No matter how dry I kept you There are other stones Prettier stones Taller stones Stronger stones But I’ll still be here And as the tide rises I will submerge And your new stone will keep you dry Good call on your part And as the tide recedes, I will be here And someone else will use me Then they will leave And the one who won’t want to leave will be swept away by the tide The only difference between myself and the stone is the structural integrity I, unlike the stone, will crack and crumble I, unlike the stone, can drown, and not recover I, unlike the stone, do not have to wait for a rising tide But I will I can pull me out of the water all together And be used by a sculptor Where I will be frozen in time Dry Still Stuck A spectacle to be gazed upon I will gaze back You will touch me But I will not touch you If I could, I wouldn't Because I would break you It's better this way I can make art I can keep you dry I can make mountains I can be worn I can be used to kill I can be used And that is all I am whatever you want me to be We can pretend that I am more But you can only pretend to love a stone for so long I’m rough I’m cold I’m hard I am inadequate Go on, tell me I’m not But you’re not kidding anyone Stone is inadequate I am inadequate I am broken I am inadequate Go on, tell me I’m not But you’re not kidding anyone You’ve fooled yourself long enough Convincing yourself that I’m not Try to reassure me that I’m not But you’re not kidding anyone anymore I am threatened by something more adequate More suitable More worthwhile Don’t feel bad That’s life
