Stone Hard
Stone Hard: Embracing Resilience Amid Pain
Lyrics
I’ve made myself stone hard
I have emotionally fortified myself.
‘Cause when I was soft you cut me open
Past vulnerability led to emotional pain.
I’ve closed the doors, I’m safe inside
I have isolated myself and feel secure.
But now these walls cannot be broken
The emotional barriers I've built are strong and impenetrable.
I learned not to dream
I have learned not to have aspirations or hopes.
I learned not to scream
I have learned to suppress my emotions and not express distress.
Watched my own heart bleed
I witnessed my own emotional pain.
But I would not show my need
I chose not to reveal my vulnerabilities.
How many times I wanted you but I didn’t say
I desired you numerous times but never voiced it.
I learned from you to turn my back and walk away
I have learned to turn away and avoid emotional attachments.
But every tear I didn’t cry turned to ice inside
Unshed tears have hardened into emotional coldness.
I tried to kill you but each time I stabbed you
I attempted to hurt you, but it only caused my own suffering.
I died
This internal conflict caused my own emotional demise.
I’ve made myself stone hard
I have emotionally fortified myself (repeated).
‘Cause when I was soft you cut me open
Past vulnerability led to emotional pain (repeated).
I’ve closed the doors, I’m safe inside
I have isolated myself and feel secure (repeated).
But now these walls cannot be broken
The emotional barriers I've built are strong and impenetrable (repeated).
I learned not to care
I have learned not to care about emotional matters.
I learned not to despair
I have learned not to experience deep sadness.
I believed my own lie
I convinced myself of a false truth.
So scared to fall I did not fly
Fear of failure prevented me from taking risks.
How many times
Desired you multiple times (repeated).
