Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't like what I see
And I wonder if she'll ever know the darker side of me
Is my reflection just a shell of the truth?
Am I the living or am I the dying proof
I'm learning to move slow
I'm learning to let go
I'm learning most things a man my age is supposed to know
I'm learning how to write
I'm learning how to sleep at night I'm learning after these years how to be thankful for what I got
And I carry on
With a heart of stone
And calloused hands
Sometimes I think I'm crazy washed up in the brain
As for my youth I threw most of those years away
And I can't even apologize for half the things I've done
Or all the nights spent looking down the wrong end of a gun
But I'm learning how to love
I'm learning about the lord above
I'm learning that he's giving me more than anything I could dream of
I'm learning how to pray a little more everyday
I'm learning to accept the things about me I can't change
And I carry on with a heart of stone
Calloused hands
I'm learning to move slow
I'm learning to let go
I'm learning most things a man my age is supposed to know
I'm learning how to love
I'm learning about the lord above
I'm learning that she's given me more than anything I could dream of
But I carry on with a heart of stone and calloused hands
Yeah I carry on with this heart of stone and calloused hands
And I wonder if she'll ever know the darker side of me
Is my reflection just a shell of the truth?
Am I the living or am I the dying proof
