Stoneheart

The first time I saw you, alone at the bar
Eyes like a fortress, a world set apart
You spoke in riddles, your laughter was thin
But I caught the tremble you tried to keep in

You brushed me off with practiced ease
A warning written in your freeze
But I stayed close, I saw the spark
A gentle light behind the dark

Stoneheart, you don't have to hide
Let the world see the tears you've cried
Underneath the armor, you're tender and true
I see the real you shining through
Stoneheart, let your walls come down
I'll be here when you're freaking out
You're stronger than you know,
I like you more each time you show
You're more than just a stoneheart now

We walked through the city, rain in your hair
You told me your stories, pretending not to care
But when you stumbled, you let out a sigh
I saw the kindness you kept locked inside

You tried to turn, to walk away
But something made you want to stay
You let me hold your trembling hand
I began to understand

Stoneheart, you don't have to hide
Let the world see the tears you've cried
Underneath the armor, you're tender and true
I see the real you shining through
Stoneheart, let your walls come down
I'll be here when you're freaking out
You're stronger than you know,
I like you more each time you show
You're more than just a stoneheart now

One quiet evening, you let down your guard
Told me your secrets, showed me your scars
In that moment, your mask fell apart
I found the sweetness in your heart

Stoneheart, you don't have to hide
Let the world see the tears you've cried
Underneath the armor, you're tender and true
I see the real you shining through
Stoneheart, your walls are coming down
Here in my arms, you're safe and found
You're stronger than you know,
And now you finally show
