Stone Would Cry Out - Sam Roberts

The cinematic after effects of alcohol 
Have led me to believe 
That there's nothing more beautiful 
Than a face as it starts to fade 
From your memory, what had once been clear as the day 
Obscured by the shade 

And I was always the thorn to your rose 

A long string of disappointing days 
Led me to concede that I'd been losing sleep 
And I'm tired and frayed at the seams 
And things are changing in me 
It's been two hard months since I could call you my own 
It cuts to the bone 
Is there anything that I can do when I've been turned into stone 

But I was always the thorn to your rose 
Some doors are better left closed 

You move like a rolling wave 
One that don't fade when it's gone 
Beyond a doubt it gets so hard that a stone would cry out 

I know there's a lesson in here 
But it's so hard to find 
I've been searching my mind 
A little pearl of wisdom for the later years 
When the thread of this life starts to unwind 
I never had to fight for my love 
But that's over I know 
It's just how it goes 
I never had to fight for my love 
But that's over I know 
It's just how it goes 

And you move like a rolling wave 
One that don't fade when it's gone 
Beyond a doubt it gets so hard, it gets so hard 
That a stone would cry out 
Some doors are better left closed 

Some say this place makes it hard to hold your head up 
Some days this face makes me feel like I've been set up
