From a Stone

«it's not what I told you
it’s not what I’ll say
I brought you the reasons
to find me a place
a moment of silence
a light in the shade
but please love me
you know I can’t give you
the things you most want
you know when I touch you
it feels like I don’t
I’ve thousands of battles
to fight on my own
but please love me
please love me
tears fall from a stone
I wouldn’t have asked had I known
it feels this way to understand
you shouldn’t have said it
you’d get me across
the greater the promise
the greater the loss
just say you’ll remember
whoever I was
and please love me
please love me
tears fall from a stone
I wouldn’t have asked had I known
it feels this way to understand
nobody stays — nobody waits
no one ever knows the way your feeling
nobody stays — nobody waits
no one really cares and then you’re gone
