I was supposed to be the rock that you could stand on / Stronger than an old oak tree / But all you ever wanted was the one thing / I never let you see...the tender side of me // I tried to be a mountain, solid and strong / All it took was your leavin' to know I was wrong
A man ain't made of stone / A man ain't made of steel / The way I feel right now / I thought I'd never feel // Sometimes all it takes / Is facing the night alone / And that's when you know / A man ain't made of stone
In this world of mine there was no room for weakness / I covered every crack in the wall / But there ain't no way that I can keep this secret / 'Cause when you go, like Jericho I fall // You thought I wouldn't shatter / Would I even care / But there's more to what I'm made of / Than this broken heart can bare
A man ain't made of stone / A man ain't made of steel / The way I feel right now / I thought I'd never feel // Sometimes all it takes / Is facing the night alone / And that's when you know / A man ain't made of stone
Sometimes all it takes / Is facing the night alone / And that's when you know / A man ain't made of stone // That's when you know / A man ain't made of stone
