Stone in My Pocket

There's a stone in my pocket that bears your name
It feels like a locked up hurricane
There are tears that will not stop once they start
In the stone in the pocket of my heart

In a world here without you every day
I'm telling everybody that I'm okay
With the weight of an anchor in the dark
Like a stone in the pocket of my heart

I can't break it, I can't shake it
Looks like this pain is here to stay
I can't lose it, I didn't choose it
And God knows I can't throw it away

There's a stone in my pocket that bears your name
Feels like a locked up hurricane
There are tears that will not stop once they start
In the stone in the pocket of my heart

Well-meaning people (well-meaning people) they try to help me (they try to help me)
They just can't stand to see my pain (and baby)
I'm not courageous, I've got to brave this
My life will never be the same

With the stone in my pocket that bears your name (a pocket of mine)
It feels like a locked up hurricane
There are tears that will not stop (will not stop) once they start
In the stone in the pocket of my heart

Got a tear in my jacket, a nail in my shoe
Got a hole in my soul you could drive a truck through
It's a new kind of normal in an old shade of blue
I'm a mess but I guess that's the best I can do

There's a stone in my pocket that bears your name
I walk around draggin' this ball and chain
There are tears that will not stop once they start
In the stone in the pocket of my heart

There's a stone in my pocket that bears your name
Feels like a locked up hurricane
There are tears that will not stop once they start
Baby, like it or not, gotta roll with the rock
It's a stone in the pocket of my heart
