(Hmm...)
I've been here before...
Yeah...
---
I built a wall around me, brick by brick
Told myself that I was done with all of this
Every time you call, I let the hammer slip
And the whole thing falls apart
You say my name, and I forget the price I paid
You touch my hand, and I give back the plans I made
To walk away, to be alone, to be a stone
But I'm not stone
---
Why do I let you melt my heart to stone?
Every time I harden up, you turn me back to bone
I say I'm done, I say I'm gone
But you come around and prove me wrong
Why do I let you melt my heart to stone?
---
I used to be so good at letting go
Cut the rope and watch the whole thing fall below
But with you, I hesitate, I second-guess
I trade my self-respect for one more night of this
My friends all say "she's crazy, leave her be"
But they don't know the part of her they'll never see
The way she holds me when I'm breaking at the seams
The way she makes me feel like more than just a dream
---
Why do I let you melt my heart to stone?
Every time I harden up, you turn me back to bone
I say I'm done, I say I'm gone
But you come around and prove me wrong
Why do I let you melt my heart to stone?
---
(And I know... I know...)
I should've walked a thousand times
Should've drawn a thousand lines
Should've kept my heart locked tight
But you pick the lock every single night
(Oh...)
What kind of love makes you forget yourself?
What kind of pain feels better than being well?
I'm tired of breaking just to feel alive
Tonight I'm gonna let the old me die

(Instrumental)

Why do I let you melt my heart to stone?
Every time I harden up, you turn me back to bone
I say I'm done, I say I'm gone
But you come around and prove me wrong
Why do I let you melt my heart to stone?
(Oh, why do I?)
Why do I let you melt me?
(Every time...)
Why do I let you melt me down to stone?
---(I built a wall...)
But you came through...
(I said goodbye...)
But I still want you...
(Hmm...)
Stone...
