Soft As A Rock

Soft As A Rock

 

(some lyrics I jotted down, thought they would be great dor a power ballad)

Your sitting on love

Like it’s a comfy

Leather couch.

Cleaning up your mess

Just like a slouch.

 

Take a look around you

And tell me what you see,

Because that shadow on the wall

Sure the hell isn’t me.

 

Your love has become

A circus in town,

But nevermore

Will I be the clown.

 

When I look into your eyes I can’t see your heart.

 

Corus:

 

Your love has become

 soft as a rock,

Chained to loneliness.

Standing in the middle,

Like it was a black hole.

 

When I walk the line

Right out the door

You can wipe your tears

Off a dry floor.

 

Though my destination

Is truly unknown

My heart is ready

To stand alone.

So I will say goodbye

To whatever you’ve become

And wish you well

When you turn

To face the sun.

 

Your love has become

 soft as a rock,

Chained to loneliness.

Standing in the middle,

Like it was a black hole.

 

 

It’s time to ride off before the night falls

And see your memory

Sent from Your sitting on love

Like it’s a comfy

Leather couch.

Cleaning up your mess

Just like a slouch.

 

Take a look around you

And tell me what you see,

Because that shadow on the wall

Sure the hell isn’t me.

 

Your love has become

A circus in town,

But nevermore

Will I be the clown.

 

When I look into your eyes I can’t see your heart.

 

Corus:

 

Your love has become

 soft as a rock,

Chained to loneliness.

Standing in the middle,

Like it was a black hole.

 

When I walk the line

Right out the door

You can wipe your tears

Off a dry floor.

 

Though my destination

Is truly unknown

My heart is ready

To stand alone.

So I will say goodbye

To whatever you’ve become

And wish you well

When you turn

To face the sun.

 

Your love has become

 soft as a rock,

Chained to loneliness.

Standing in the middle,

Like it was a black hole.

 

 

It’s time to ride off before the night falls

And see your memory

On the other side of midnight.

 

When I look into your eyes I see the fall of  Rome.

 

Your love has become

 soft as a rock,

Chained to loneliness.

Standing in the middle,

Like it was a black hole.

 

Now I’m taking the high road while 

you crawl underground.

 

Your love has become

 soft as a rock,

Chained to loneliness.

Standing in the middle,

Like it was a black hole.

 

 

Reviews

[MomzillaNC]

This is a terrific set of lyrics.

NOTE: It's [chorus] not "corus"
In your title, You wrote Soft Asc a Rock" -- I presume you mean "Soft [as a] Rock"

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

yes I did, thank you for noticing

[William Michael Reeves]

Have you put this to music? I can't help but find a melody when a poem naturally works as a song. I did get a little confused where the chorus and verse seperates from each other. Love the oxymoron at the top!

Hello Dale my friend. I enjoyed reading the lyrics to your love gone wrong song. Lyrics I’m sure will be relatable to many. I can imagine this being belted out by a rock singer. All the best to you.
