My days are filled with mistakes
Some that I didn't make
I carry them around

Some people don't feel a thing
Some kind of blissful dream
I wish that I could live that now
Oh, I wish I could live that now

'Cause ten thousand stones
Hanging deep in my heart
No, I don't know
How they don't tear me apart
How could I ever believe
That ten thousand stones
Would build the best of me

I've seen a lot in my life
I've seen two wrongs make a right
When everything was crashing

I know that you've got your plans
You're always taking your stand
But I was only asking
No, I was never asking

For ten thousand stones
Hanging deep in my heart
No, I don't know
How they don't tear me apart
How could I ever believe
That ten thousand stones
Would build the best of me

Yeah

Oh, who knows
What you think of me now
Knowing sooner or later
The truth would come out
But I don't want to look back
Don't want to look back

To ten thousand stones
Hanging deep in my heart
No, I don't know
How they don't tear me apart
How could I ever believe
That ten thousand stones
Would save the fool in me

Ten thousand stones
Would be a strange blessing
Ten thousand stones
Would build the best of me
