Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't like what I see And I wonder if she'll ever know the darker side of me Is my reflection just a shell of the truth? Am I the living or am I the dying proof I'm learning to move slow I'm learning to let go I'm learning most things a man my age is supposed to know I'm learning how to write I'm learning how to sleep at night I'm learning after these years how to be thankful for what I got And I carry on With a heart of stone And calloused hands Sometimes I think I'm crazy washed up in the brain As for my youth I threw most of those years away And I can't even apologize for half the things I've done Or all the nights spent looking down the wrong end of a gun But I'm learning how to love I'm learning about the lord above I'm learning that he's giving me more than anything I could dream of I'm learning how to pray a little more everyday I'm learning to accept the things about me I can't change And I carry on with a heart of stone Calloused hands I'm learning to move slow I'm learning to let go I'm learning most things a man my age is supposed to know I'm learning how to love I'm learning about the lord above I'm learning that she's given me more than anything I could dream of But I carry on with a heart of stone and calloused hands Yeah I carry on with this heart of stone and calloused hands
