[Verse 1]
You say my name like rain
On a locked-up door
I stand still in the frame
But I want more
You left your mark on me
Like a ring in wax
I keep it in my pocket
When you don’t come back
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to bend
But I only crack
You pull at the seam
And I come back
[Chorus]
Heart of stone
Still beats for you
Heart of stone
What am I to do?
I break, I fold
Then I hold your flame
Heart of stone
Still says your name
[Verse 2]
Cold coffee on the counter
Your coat by the chair
I tell myself I’m over it
But you’re still there
In every slammed-front door
In every empty room
I hear that same old shadow
Coming back too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to bend
But I only crack
You pull at the seam
And I come back
[Chorus]
Heart of stone
Still beats for you
Heart of stone
What am I to do?
I break, I fold
Then I hold your flame
Heart of stone
Still says your name
[Bridge]
If you want the truth
I never let you go
I built these walls up high
Just to watch them blow
Take the hard edge off
Take the hurt away
I’m not made of ice
I’m just this way
[Final Chorus]
Heart of stone
Still beats for you
Heart of stone
What am I to do?
I break, I fold
Then I hold your flame
Heart of stone
Still says your name
Heart of stone
Don’t look away
Heart of stone
I’m yours today
You say my name like rain
On a locked-up door
I stand still in the frame
But I want more
You left your mark on me
Like a ring in wax
I keep it in my pocket
When you don’t come back
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to bend
But I only crack
You pull at the seam
And I come back
[Chorus]
Heart of stone
Still beats for you
Heart of stone
What am I to do?
I break, I fold
Then I hold your flame
Heart of stone
Still says your name
[Verse 2]
Cold coffee on the counter
Your coat by the chair
I tell myself I’m over it
But you’re still there
In every slammed-front door
In every empty room
I hear that same old shadow
Coming back too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to bend
But I only crack
You pull at the seam
And I come back
[Chorus]
Heart of stone
Still beats for you
Heart of stone
What am I to do?
I break, I fold
Then I hold your flame
Heart of stone
Still says your name
[Bridge]
If you want the truth
I never let you go
I built these walls up high
Just to watch them blow
Take the hard edge off
Take the hurt away
I’m not made of ice
I’m just this way
[Final Chorus]
Heart of stone
Still beats for you
Heart of stone
What am I to do?
I break, I fold
Then I hold your flame
Heart of stone
Still says your name
Heart of stone
Don’t look away
Heart of stone
I’m yours today
Musikstyle
Pop ballad with a steady mid-tempo pulse, fingerpicked guitar in the verses, widening synth pads in the pre-chorus, and a soaring chorus that lifts on stacked harmony vocals; verse stays intimate and close-mic, pre-chorus adds rising toms and a filtered piano octave, chorus blooms with big handclaps and delay throws on the title phrase, bridge drops to bare voice and keys before the final lift. Bright, polished, emotional mix with a radio-ready sheen.
