Melt this Stone

Verse 1

They told me maybe love just ain’t my thing

Like some hearts weren’t made for wedding rings

I used to believe it late at night

That I was too broken to hold someone right

I thought if you got too close to me

My scars would bleed into everything

So I kept my heart behind closed doors

Cold as winter, hard as stone floors

Pre-Chorus

I was scared I’d hurt somebody

The way I’d been hurt before

So I built these walls so high

Couldn’t feel nothing anymore

Chorus

But the ice is melting slow

Didn’t even see it go

I ain’t cold like I used to be

Something’s changing deep in me

I’m not who I was back then

God’s been softening my skin

What was stone is learning to feel

And this time… it’s real

Verse 2

I don’t need to chase no love

Or prove my worth to anyone

If it don’t align with who I am

I can say no and still stand

I don’t owe nobody reasons

For protecting my peace

This woman I’m becoming

Is worth more than pleasing

Bridge (spoken, bluesy)

I used to lose myself to keep somebody else.

Never again.

If love finds me now,

It’ll meet a healed woman…

Not a hollow one.

Final Chorus (stronger, confident)

Yeah, the ice is melting slow

And I’m finally letting go

Not desperate, not afraid

Not begging love to stay

If it comes, it’ll be right

If it leaves, I’ll be alright

’Cause I found myself in the fire

And I won’t lose her… ever again
