Blood from a Stone

I stepped off the bus to the sobering cold
And realized this bullshit is getting old
I reach and you run, I leave then you come
We have mastered the push and pull
If I were a friend of mine
I know exactly what I'd say
But a spoonful of sugar
Won't make your own medicine any easier to take

I don't believe in giving up without a good fight
But falling for potential ruins me every time
I'm packing up my tears and all of my false goodbyes
I'm throwin' em over my shoulder
And closing the door behind me 'cause

Tryina' get love from you baby
Is like tryina' get blood from a stone
And I been watchin' myself going crazy
While my broken heart's still holding on

Ain't it funny how the truth can stare you dead in your face
But you'd sooner believe a lie
Well I got my own self in this twice narrowed place
With my ability to, to justify
A little too much whiskey
And not enough sleep
Well it's lifted the veil
Now I can finally see

I don't believe in giving up without a good fight
But falling for potential ruins me every time
I'm packing up my tears and all of my false goodbyes
I'm throwin' em over my shoulder
And closing the door behind me 'cause

Tryina' get love from you baby
Is like tryina' get blood from a stone
And I been watchin' myself going crazy
While my broken heart is still holding on

I, I made you want me
Then I even made you leave
But the one thing that I just can't seem to do
Is make you bleed for me

Oh tryina' get love from you baby
Is like tryina' get blood from a stone
And I been watchin' myself going crazy
While my broken heart is still holding on
Ah tryina' get love from you baby
Is like tryina' get blood from a stone
And I been watchin' myself going crazy
While my broken heart's still holding on
Tryina' get love from you baby
Tryina' get blood from a stone
Tryina' get love from you baby
Tryina' get blood from a stone
