Sack Full Of Stones

I used to be the kind of guy

I could laugh as well as cry

With a heart feather soft

And summer warm

Since you've left me I've been faced

With emptiness that's been replaced

With a heart that's hard an' heavy

As a sack full of stones

I never thought I'd ever see

Man my mirror is showing me

Lord, I must have aged ten years

Since you've been gone

The longest mile you'll ever crawl

Is the one after you fall

Draggin' around a heart that's heavy

As a sack full of stones

With the world upon my shoulders

And my feelings on my sleeve

Every time I close my eyes at night

All I do is watch you leave

But by far the biggest curse

Of being left alone

Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy

As a sack full of stones

Yeah, ah, ah

Well, I tried turning to a bottle

But the bottle turned on me

I've tried everything

But nothin' sets your memory free

I'm serving a life here in a prison

That we once called a home

With a heart that's cold and heavy

As a sack full of stones

With the world upon my shoulders

And my feelings on my sleeve

Every time I close my eyes at night

All I do is watch you leave

Yeah, but by far the biggest curse

Of being left alone

Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy

As a sack full of stones

Yes by far the biggest curse

Of being left alone

Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy

As a sack full of stones
