You traded your heart for a stone
Guess it was easier to choose
The path of least resistance
You traded your kindness for alone
Perhaps the frown was safer than the smile
I admit I stopped looking for you
I tried enough to say I tried
Then I lost my courage and ran to hide
Oh, could it have been different
Or is this where we’re to be where we were meant to be
You traded your heart for a stone
Has that been easier to harden alone
You jaded what was fragile
You placated what was stabile
Until there was nothing left to muster
Nothing left to squander or save
I throw my hands up and surrender
Wave my white flag alone
You traded your broken heart for a stone
You traded your wounded heart for a stone
You liked it better that way
If only I could’ve loved you to healing
If only I could’ve looked past myself enough to see
You were loving me, you were loving me
Instead I traded your heart for a stone
