My well is dry
My words hollow
Promises brittle as my bones
You'll get nothing from me
You're squeezing water from a stone
And I'm fool enough to be this alone
Ain't you supposed to bend?
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind?
Ain't it easier to be-e-e-eeeeeee-end?
I am the one who stayed behind
My will is i--ron
I know
That I haven't learned a thing
From the trouble it's got me in
And my troubles are just starting to begin
Ain't you supposed to bend?
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind?
Ain't it easier to be-e-e-eeeeend?
You run deep in me
Like a place where a river used to be
And I know it was a long time ago
But now all that's left is sediment and stone
Ain't you supposed to bend?
Ain't you supposed to flex like a willow in the wind?
Ain't it easier to be-e-e-eeeeend?
You are a dia-mond and I'm just coal
If you are a riv-er then I'm just stone
You are fle--esh and I'm just bone
You are a churning river shaping my stone
You are the spring thaw
You are the flow of the river
You are end-less
And I'm just sto-o-o-o-one
You are the river
I'm just the stone
