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

That 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



Chorus:

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

And 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 Cheriko 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 bear



Repeat chorus



Sometimes all it takes

Is facing the night alone

And that's when you know

A man ain't made of stone
