Stone Statue

Though I close my eyes
I see you in the faces of people passin' by
Have I lost my graces? But just the same
I say the words again
Girl you've come too far
Remember loving's hard
So my sentiment ain't heard
In patterned silence yearnin'
And my breath is surely burnin away
Girl I thought that you had learned
Not to risk the burn
Like a crack straight through
That shield I held so true
To be somebody like a cold stone statue.

And it really is a shame
The way you say my name
With an accidental warmth
But you don't know the stakes of the game
And man you're rather cruel
To derail this girlish fool
But sadness doesn't suit me
So i'll play along too
But my hand's already forced
My mind yelling til it's hoarse
Girl you know this'll be just
Another blow you can't afford
But can I just pretend
That while you're here I am
Someone worth while with
A chance you'll understand
But hey what can you do
When your heart's been usin' you
Because they've waltzed right through
That shield I held so true
To be somebody like a
Cold stone statue.

But hey it ain't so bad
They say happiness is fleeting so
I'll grab it while I can
While I can.
