Made of Stone
You stand on stage like a statue in the sea
Your face of stone, you stare right through me
To a city somewhere behind me
Like a lighthouse trying to blind me
Keep your hands away from me
Cos i crumble when you come near
There’s a difference between you and me
And it’s becoming all to clear
Cos despite what you might’ve been told
My heart’s as brittle as my bones
Oh, I ain’t made of stone
I leave you playing on my stereo
When I move into the other room
So I can hear you through the wall
Singing like you’re just next door
You’re a siren trying to call me
I’m only a man, I break easily
So I beg you, show me mercy
Show me mercy, show me mercy, oh
Cos despite what you might’ve been told
My heart’s as brittle as my bones
Oh, I ain’t made of stone
Like a brick tower built too tall
Or a mountain growing old
You weaken me
As you complete me
So before I start to fall
I need for you know
If you ever find yourself alone
All you gotta do is call
Keep your hands away from me
Cos i crumble when you come near
There’s a difference between you and me
And it’s becoming all to clear
Cos despite how I’d like to be known
My heart’s as brittle as my bones
Oh, I ain’t made of stone
