Typed by: AZ Lyrics

I'm gonna chisel away at this rock
until I get the shape that I want
and then I'm gonna continue to chisel it
because that's what I do when I find myself in a new relationship
Because I remember when this started out as mud mixed with water
that turned to clay and I would watch it break and break
and look more like the image that I wanted to make
And it's pathetic I know
but it's all anyone ever gave
'Cause I was born a virgin covered in blood and free of sin
and that's the exact shape I wanna make when I jump off this bridge
I'm tired of trying to be something that I can't be
and I'm tired of fighting for something that I can't see
I'm finding new life in every regret 
and finding regrets in everything I forget 
and the second I'm at peace I'm thrown off 
by my need to make everything complete
'cause I'm a sucker for the rule of threes
You hurt me and I hurt you
But when I hurt you
something needed to happen to give me some sort of closure
And I'm sorry for my poor posture
I just can't stand up straight and take this like a man today
I'm too broken
And there's so many things I wanna say
If only you will listen
And I'll put my fingers in the door
so when I close it on you
I'll hurt a little bit too
Because the only reason I held onto you 
was because I felt I had nothing left 
and the deeper I carve into this rock 
I realize it's not gonna fit into the shape that I want, so I quit.
Because I've always been afraid to fall in love 
because there's something about falling
that just doesn't sound worth it
And I said it before and I'll say it again
"It was problematic at best
because you beckoned me and you lessened me
And no other love would accommodate my blindfold so easily." 
But now I can see.
God, I gave you all of my love
but I can't see past this hurt
God, I gave you all of my love
so now what do I give to her? I'm terrified
but I've never felt so alive.
