The Stone I Found

Verse 1

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

Had my hands down in the ground, thinking I am getting close

I thought there was something buried worth the trouble and pain

But some things stay much better when you leave them where they lay

You had a way of shining when I looked into your eyes

I mistook the way you glimmered for something that would last a lifetime

So, I kept on digging deeper, never thinking what I'd find

Now, I wish I'd never wondered what was hiding underneath the light

Chorus

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

But it's caused a lotta hurt, I wish I left it alone

I thought I'd find a diamond, something worth holding on

But all I found was something cold, something hard, something wrong

Now, I carry what I uncovered everywhere I go

Some truths are better buried where nobody knows

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

And I'd give anything to leave it there alone

Verse 2

Funny how the things we want can turn to things we fear

How the picture that we painted disappears when its clear

I built you up so high that I could barely see the ground

Then I found out what you were when there was nothing left to hide now

Maybe you weren't changing, maybe I just finally knew

Maybe all those little cracks were always running through

I kept calling them imperfections, kept believing they'd be gone

Till the weight of what I uncovered proved I had it all wrong

Chorus

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

But it's caused a lotta hurt, I wish I left it alone

I thought I'd find a diamond, something worth holding on

But all I found was something cold, something hard, something wrong

Now, I carry what I uncovered everywhere I go

Some truths are better buried where nobody knows

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

And I'd give anything to leave it there alone

Bridge

Maybe some things aren't meant to be found

Maybe some hearts shouldn't be turned inside out

Maybe I would've loved you just fine

If I'd never gone looking behind the lies

Now, the hole I dug is deeper than the one I found you in

And I don't know if I'm grieving you or who I thought you'd been

All I know is I was happier before I knew

That the thing I was searching for was never really you

Final-Chorus

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

And it's caused a lotta hurt, I wish I left it alone

I thought I'd find a diamond, something worth holding on

But some treasures lose their meaning when you find out what they're not

Now, I carry what I uncovered everywhere I go

And there's no putting back the things you know

I dug into the dirt until I found that stone

And the hardest part is knowing

I was the one who dug it up

I was the one who brought it home

Outro

So, I'll leave that hole behind me

Let the earth cover it slow

Some things hurt less in the darkness

When you never know
