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 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 cuz
Tryin'a get love from you baby
Is like tryin'a get blood from a stone
And I been watching myself going crazy
While my broken heart's still holding on
Ain't it funny how the truth can stare you dead in the face
But you'd sooner believe a lie
Well I got my own self in this twice narrowed place
With my ability 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 cuz
Tryin'a get love from you baby
Is like tryin'a get blood from a stone
And I been watching myself going crazy
While my broken heart is still holding on
I made you want me
I even made you leave
But the one thing that I just can't seem to do
Is make you bleed for me
Tryin'a get love from you baby
Is like tryin'a get blood from a stone
And I been watching myself going crazy
While my broken heart's still holding on
