Stone Of Suffering

I don't wanna fall in love

I don't think I'm tough enough

To endure the slings and arrows

But I want to be with you

So tell me, what am I to do

As my options, oh, they narrow

Oh, the words that you write,

They are keeping me alive

As I pace my prison cell

You say everyone is flawed

But I know that you are wrong

'Cause there's beauty just as well

Can we mine some joy from the stone of suffering?

Oh, I'm thinking on you

That's gettin' me through

I'm thinking on you

I don't wanna fall in love

'Cause I think I've had enough

Of the heartache and the sorrow

But I wanna be with you

And share in all the things you do

And share in all of your tomorrows

Oh, you cut me to the quick

Yeah you strike me like a blade

Oh, the things that you say

'Cause I see in me some you

So I wanna pick you up

And carry you away

Can we mine some joy from the stone of suffering?

Oh, I'm thinking on you

That's gettin' me through

I'm thinking on you

That's gettin' me through

I'm thinking on you

I don't wanna fall in love

I don't think I'm tough enough

To endure the slings and arrows

But I want to be with you

So tell me, what am I to do

As my options, oh, they narrow
