Heart to Stone
Unveiling the Heart's Transformation: 'Stone' by David Nava
Lyrics
Why don't you walk away
Expressing a suggestion or desire for the listener to leave.
Cus I'm just no good for you
Acknowledging personal flaws and stating that the speaker is not suitable for the listener.
I don't know what to say
Conveying uncertainty or difficulty in finding words to explain the situation.
You'd hate me if you knew
Suggesting that revealing the speaker's true self would lead to dislike from the listener.
Who I am should not be your concern
Asserting that the speaker's identity should not be the listener's concern.
You're better off without me here
Advising that the listener would be better off without the speaker.
If you can it's best you don't return
Suggesting that it's in the listener's best interest not to return.
I'm going to disappear
Expressing an intention to vanish or distance oneself.
It's not you
Clarifying that the issue is not about the listener but about the speaker.
It's all me
Attributing the problems to the speaker and not the listener.
I like to be alone
Expressing a preference for solitude.
What I do
Indicating a desire for freedom and independence.
To be free
Stating a willingness to emotionally detach or become indifferent.
I'll turn my heart to
Beginning the process of emotionally shutting down by turning the heart metaphorically to stone.

Well it's not that I don't care
Acknowledging a level of care but not enough to evoke the same feelings.
Did I ignite the flame
Questioning whether the speaker ignited a passion or interest.
I can see the embers flare
Noting the visible signs of emotions but not reciprocating them.
Passioned lies of love you taught yourself
Describing the contradictory nature of self-taught love and passion.
I could never be the one for you

I'm lost with what I do

Is it real

Don't think I want to know

Getting clear

How about you leave it alone

Cus you shouldn't want to know me well
Advising against wanting to know the speaker well.
Well I wish I knew
