A Stone Between Us

Title: “Stone Between Us” The kitchen light is flickering Like it’s holding on for us Your coffee cup is still half full But we don’t talk that much There’s a picture on the hallway wall From better, braver days We were fearless with our hearts Now we’re careful what we say I hear the silence screaming Every time you turn away We’re standing in the same room But we’re miles apart these days There’s a stone between us Where love used to lie We built it from the little things We never said out loud that night Now it’s too tall to climb Too wide to cross alone I’m reaching out for your hand But I’m holding onto stone I remember how you looked at me Like I was all you’d ever need Now your eyes just pass right by Like I’m someone on the street We don’t slam doors like we used to We don’t even fight We just let the distance Tuck us in at night And I would take the blame If it would change your mind But love don’t grow in shadows It needs a little light There’s a stone between us Where fire used to burn We let it turn to ashes While we waited for our turn Now it’s too cold to hold Too heavy to move on I’m calling out your name But the echo’s all that’s gone Tell me when did we get so proud? To let forever fall without a sound If there’s still a piece of you That feels the way I do Don’t let it drown There’s a stone between us But it don’t have to stay We can break it with a whisper Or let it end this way If there’s still a spark Under all we’ve thrown Then reach across this hurt And don’t leave me here alone [Outro – soft] The kitchen light is flickering But it hasn’t faded yet…
