Stone’s Throw from Hurtin’ Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Help me information
Get emotion on the line
This war that's raging in my heart's
Getting harder all the time
Our painted smiles are cracking
Our worried friends just frown
We got a runaway train on an empty track
That's trying to run us down

[Chorus]
And I'm a stone's throw from hurting
Everything we put together
Knee deep in learning about burning this bridge forever
I'm a stone's throw, a stone's throw
A stone's throw from hurting
And I know it's never gonna get no better

[Verse 2]
Crippled conversation hangs inside this house
Our voices just get ugly
When our love gets all talked out
Your goodnight kiss ain't hungry
Our touches don't connect
We're just a couple of kids with a broken toy
That our idle fingers wrecked
[Chorus]
And I'm a stone's throw from hurting
Everything we put together
Knee deep in learning about burning this bridge forever
I'm a stone's throw, a stone's throw
A stone's throw from hurting
And I know it's never gonna get no better

[Bridge]
Some things get broken
When stones get thrown
Some things get better
When you leave what you love
And you let what you love alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Some things get broken
When stones get thrown
Some things get better
When you leave what you love
And you let what you love alone

[Chorus]
And I'm a stone's throw from hurting
Everything we put together
Knee deep in learning about burning this bridge forever
I'm a stone's throw, a stone's throw
A stone's throw from hurting
And I know it's never gonna get no better
[Outro]
Stone's throw from hurting
Stone's throw from hurting
Stone's throw from hurting

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
