A River Loves a Stone

You are, brittle like the wind
But I can, see right through your skin
Well you've got such beautiful bones
And I love you like a river loves a stone

I am, fickle as I'm thin
I shut you out, but you still got in
My worst intentions have all been overthrown
And now I love you like a river loves a stone

Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone
Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone

You are, brittle but you'll bend
And I may, break you but you'll mend
Well you paint me with such subtle tones
And I love you like a river loves a stone

We are, brilliant though we're flawed
I wish you'd be a little self-assured
Your best intentions, have all been overthrown
And now I love you like a river loves a stone

Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone
Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone

Well I could sit and stare at you for hours
Like a bouquet of funeral flowers
But every leaf is painted black
And every petal is as pale as is wax

Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone
Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone
Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone
Oh, yeah I love you like a river loves a stone
I love you like a river loves a stone
