I tried to make it work too long, 'cuz if I didn't, they'd be right
About you and what you did, but also about me and how
I run from everyone I love, if loving's what that is
And it's true I would prefer to forget it all than to forgive
Oh, to make sure that when it does hurt
It's gonna stay short, even the good parts.
Without you, I'm nothing good
I know it's bad to say and worse to believe
But I do, and that's my truth
I'm cast away like Perseus to the sea
I was your rescuer, I used to save you time after time
But now I find it's me who needs a hero, and there's nobody
So I'll make sure my heart is stone cold
Staring at the monster, hair made of vipers
She said, "Statues don't hurt...I'll make it so short...
You could forget it all, even the good parts"
Walk into the room slowly
Floorboards aching below feet
Speak your mind and destroy me
The only one let close enough to tear me up
I tried to make it work too long, 'cuz if I didn't, they'd be right...
My heart is stone cold
I hate the giving up, but I'll do as I'm told
I'll never be enough for you, even though I'm older
Wanna be tough, but you weigh on my shoulders
So cold, my heart is stone cold
I hate the giving up, my heart is stone cold
My heart is stone cold
