We have lost control
We're going backwards
Ignoring the realities
Going backwards

I've been so many places

With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and
I'm singing this song to you

Look at the flowers and the green grass

Molly Hatchet - "Stone In Your Heart".

"Is this how it ends?
We're strangers again
It's over but you won't explain
No kiss no goodbye, not one final lie
Just cold to the bone from the ice's that's runnin' through your veins
You have stone in your heart."
