if i have a heart of stone
your name is on a page
the one that has a corner turned down
written with guilt and shame
the page is blue and tattered
like the soul you left behind
in search of who you thought you were
before i crossed your mind
a fleeting bit of happiness
across your space of time
crumbled up and thrown away
to the footnotes of your life
you can take the credit
you shoved me in the cold
now i have a heart of stone
one without a soul
but i'm stepping out into the sun
for all the world to see
things can end so badly but
it's not the end of me
a night will come when i will rise
and like the distant moon
i'll shake off the bad dream that
once was known as you ...
turn the page.
