Earthstones

I built a house of stones
With room for only two
The soil from the earth
Will hold me close to you

I know we’re built to break
For now it’s all we’ve got
I’ll learn from my mistakes
You’ll learn to not get caught

Mend my heart with morphine
Let the pain adorn me
Like a doll, disarming
I’m okay

As I go through cycles
This romance turns idle
Give me time to fight it
It’s all about me, not you

It’s hard to give you up
But heartbreak’s all I’ve known
I’m watching you escape
To nowhere, not alone

You start to fall apart
We know it can’t be helped
The stones will soon collapse
It hurts to wish you well

Mend my heart with morphine
Let the pain adorn me
Like a doll, disarming
I’m okay

As I go through cycles
This romance turns idle
Give me time to fight it
It’s all about me, not you
