Lyrics

All damn day I've been waiting online

All day I've been waiting online

But I missed a paper so the snap declined

Missed a paper, snap declined

I can't tell if I'm doing it to myself

Uncertain if causing own problems


Well not for nothing but let's lay bare

Laying bare the situation

What's got us sitting down on the kitchen stairs

Sitting on kitchen stairs, reflecting

It's the same fight I've been having my whole life

Recurring lifelong struggles


But I won't cry

Resisting tears despite challenges

'Cause I should have known

Realization of missed opportunities

To get some comfort from my aching heart

Seeking comfort for heartache

Is blood from a stone

Comfort is elusive, like blood from a stone

B-b-blood from a stone

Reinforcing difficulty in obtaining comfort


You know it's hard luck living but I just make do

Life is tough, but adapting

When one thing goes the rest follows suit

One setback leads to others

What do you expect when you're living check to check?

Struggles of living paycheck to paycheck


All my days been a cycle on loop

Days feel repetitive, evidence of hardship

Or so it seems and, baby, you're the proof

Someone's absence intensifies pain

You're not there and it's more than I can bear

Emotional burden of the absence


But I won't cry

Resisting tears despite challenges (repeated)

'Cause I should have known

Realization of missed opportunities (repeated)

To get some comfort for my aching heart

Seeking comfort for heartache (repeated)

It's blood from a stone

Comfort remains elusive, like blood from a stone (repeated)

It's like blood from a stone, yeah

Reinforcing difficulty in obtaining comfort (repeated)


But I won't cry

Resisting tears despite challenges (repeated)

'Cause I should have known

Realization of missed opportunities (repeated)

I get no comfort for my aching heart

No comfort for heartache, acknowledging reality

Yeah, I won't cry

Acceptance of loneliness

'Cause with you, I'm so alone

No comfort in solitude

There'll be no comfort for my aching heart

Acceptance of aching heart without solace

It's blood from a stone

Comfort remains elusive, like blood from a stone (repeated)
