Heart Of Stone

(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
Memories have made its will grow tired and weak
Silently it turned from being bold to meek
'Til finally it gave into a sad defeat
Aching more and more with every fragile beat
Chorus:
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride
Leaving just an empty well here behind
Without a hope of anyway it could survive
Stranded there alone and simply left to die
Chorus:
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
