My well is dry, my words hollow Promises brittle as my bones You'll get nothing from me You're squeezin' water from a stone And I am fool enough to be this alone Ain't you ‘supposed to bend? Ain't you ‘supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? Ain't it easier to bend? I am the one who stayed behind My will is iron I know that I haven't learned a thing from the trouble it's got me in And my troubles are just starting to begin Ain't you ‘supposed to bend? Ain't you ‘supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? Ain't it easier to bend? You run deep in me Like the place where a river used to be And I know it was a long time ago But now all that's left is sediment and stone Ain't you ‘supposed to bend? Ain't you ‘supposed to flex like a willow in the wind? Ain't it easier to bend? You are a diamond and I'm just coal If you are a river then I'm just stone You are flesh and I'm just bone You are a churnin' river shapin' my stone You are the spring thaw You are the flow of the river You are endless And I'm just stone You are the river I'm just the stone
