A Man Ain’t Made of Stone

I tried to be strong

But strong broke down tonight

I watched you leave and said nothing

Like silence made me brave

But every step you took away

Put my pride into a grave

I should have cried before you left

Now I cry where you can’t hear

A man ain’t made of stone

He breaks when love is gone

He bleeds behind the door

Falls harder than before

I was too proud to show

The hurt I should have known

Now I’m down here all alone

A man ain’t made of stone

Your picture’s still beside me

I talk to it at dawn

Asking why I held my peace

When I knew that you were gone

If tears could bring you back

I’d flood this empty room

A man ain’t made of stone

He breaks when love is gone

He calls your name at night

And prays with all his might

I was too proud to show

The love I should have shown

Now my heart is on its knees

A man ain’t made of stone

I’m not made of stone

I’m just missing you
