"Can't Make Blood Out Of Stone" lyrics

When it's time to go, you should know
And throw your cards in
There's always a sign that's been there
From the beginning
But we don't read between the lines
We falter
As a result we're gonna suffer
What comes after
'Cause if we're right we go on

Can't make blood out of stone
Can't bend a tree when it's grown
Why keep living a lie
When patience is in short supply?
Why keep trusting a friend
Who conveniently misunderstands
Who you wanna be
Where you wanna go
What's your purpose in this life?

We don't read between the lines
So we falter
The more we live and deny
It gets harder
Oh, it gets harder
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, it gets harder

Oh, oh, oh

You'll suffer more pain but you'll understand
When it gets deeper in the bone
Deeper in the bone
Then you'll question yourself a million times over
What could you have done
To try to make things better
But it doesn't get better
No, oh

Can't make blood out of stone
Can't bend a tree when it's grown
Why keep living a lie
When patience is in short supply?
Why keep trusting a friend
Who conveniently misunderstands
Who you wanna be
Where you wanna go
What's your purpose in this life?

We don't read between the lines
So we're bound to falter
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Never know, never know
But you should know

Can't make blood out of stone
Can't bend a tree when it's grown
Why keep living a lie
When patience is in short supply?
Why keep trusting a friend
Who conveniently misunderstands
Who you wanna be
Where you wanna go

What's your, what's your, what's your
They don't know you, they don't know you, they don't
You should let them understand you
