I used to be the kind of guy
  I could laugh as well as cry
  With a heart feather-soft and summer-warm
  Since you've left me I've been faced
  With emptiness that's been replaced
  With a heart that's hard and heavy as a sack full of stones
  
  I never thought I'd ever see
  The man my mirror is showing me
  Lord I must have aged ten years
  Since you've been gone
  The longest mile you'll ever crawl
  Is the one after you fall
  Draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones
  
  With the world upon my shoulders
  And my feelings on my sleeve
  Every time I close my eyes at night
  All I do is watch you leave
  But by far the biggest curse of being left alone
  Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones
  
  Well I tried turning to a bottle
  But the bottle turned on me
  I've tried everything
  But nothing sets your memory free
  I'm serving life here in a prison
  That we once called a home
  With a heart that's cold and heavy as a sack full of stones
  
  With the world upon my shoulders
  And my feelings on my sleeve
  Every time I close my eyes at night
  All I do is watch you leave
  But by far the biggest curse of being left alone
  Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones
  Yes by far the biggest curse of being left alone
  Is draggin' around a heart that's heavy as a sack full of stones
