Sack Full Of Stones

I used to be the kind of guy
I could laugh as well as cry
With a heart feather soft
And summer warm

Since you've left me I've been faced
With emptiness that's been replaced
With a heart that's hard an' heavy
As a sack full of stones

I never thought I'd ever see
Man my mirror is showing me
Lord, I must have aged ten years
Since you've been gone

The longest mile you'll ever crawl
Is the one after you fall
Draggin' around a heart that's heavy
As a sack full of stones

With the world upon my shoulders
And my feelings on my sleeve
Every time I close my eyes at night
All I do is watch you leave

But by far the biggest curse
Of being left alone
Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy
As a sack full of stones
Yeah, ah, ah

Well, I tried turning to a bottle
But the bottle turned on me
I've tried everything
But nothin' sets your memory free

I'm serving a life here in a prison
That we once called a home
With a heart that's cold and heavy
As a sack full of stones

With the world upon my shoulders
And my feelings on my sleeve
Every time I close my eyes at night
All I do is watch you leave

Yeah, but by far the biggest curse
Of being left alone
Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy
As a sack full of stones

Yes by far the biggest curse
Of being left alone
Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy
As a sack full of stones
