lyrics

I miss you sometimes; some is more than enough for me--because I can't say the things you need to hear or be who you deserve to be. I lay up some nights--not feeling the comfort I chose to lose; but in my dreams you touch my heart and it breaks every morning. I'd sleep all day and night if I could choose.



Stone erodes and my heart sheds like granite

As it drags behind my mind as it roams

Home was your love that I decided to forfeit--

Now I'm losing my head and the rest that I own.



You're seeing some man but I know he's got only half of a whole. You gave angelic love and I gave only admiration and unknowingly stole your hallowed soul. You've come from some place--there with you I can only repent. Now you cry and curse my name for how I left it all when I owe so much more than what I spent.



Stone erodes and my heart sheds like granite

As it drags behind my mind as it roams.

Home was your love that I decided to forfeit--

Now I'm losing my head and the rest that I own.



I think as time flies, my heart (as it softens) doesn't burn--It only withers in the sun, where your love was a shadow, I'm losing hope that to your shade I could return. That's why the moon shines--because he wants to know how loneliness is won. I'm sure that we are both most alone and aching, and I'm the one most sorry for all I haven't done.



Stone erodes and my heart sheds like granite

As it drags behind my mind as it roams.

Home was your love that I decided to forfeit--

Now I'm losing my head and the rest that I own.

Now I'm losing my head and the rest that I own.

Now I'm losing my head and the rest that I own.
