I've been looking in the wrong direction all day for feeling alive
You've been living with a fond affection for him
But it is enough to know it, not to shout from the hills
And it's up to me now to take the poison pill
A stone can only get so high
Heaven knows the reason why
The imitation isn't a good look for you
So you can make it all about you while never being heard
A daring display of sentiment, only seen at a loss for your words
On display and in the light
I couldn't bring myself to knock you down -- is it any more right?
A stone can only get so high
Heaven told the reason why
Keep on raising it up even though he's gone
The point you brought us to, on and on
Are we any closer to the source?
I feel it drag me under, to act like it's enough
Takes all of your time and all of your strength to balance
Looking lonely, or saying you're alone
