Blood from a Stone

The next red light I hit, I’m dialing your number

I know I lost my nerve the past couple times

We got our own version of closure

But apparently, it’s not the forgetting kind

When you held both my hands in the sunshine

I thought I could make your heart mine

But loving you

Was like getting blood from a stone

I said my piece and counted up to ten

And back down again

Thinking eventually, I’d pass the test

I know your walls were built to protect you

I wish I could make you see that’s what I wanted to do too

That’s all I wanted to do

Protect you

But I swallowed, I started over

Yeah, I swallowed, I started over

‘Cause loving you

Was like getting blood from a stone
