The lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was young and I never saw it coming
The years that would carry away so much
I didn't know how heavy grief could settle
Like stone sinking slow beneath the hush
Now my chest is cold, my laughter's buried
Somewhere back before the losses came
I search for the girl I used to carry
But she won't answer when I call her name

[Chorus]
This stone in my chest won't let me breathe easy
I carry the grief like it's all I own
Chasing a smile I can't quite remember
Buried so deep it feels like it's gone

[Verse 2]
Nights fall heavy and my mind won't quiet
Every face I've lost comes back to stay
Souls I loved are sleeping up in heaven
Keep me company till the dark gives way
I lie awake and count the hours
Hoping morning comes but scared of when
Not for them, I'm not ready yet
Just let me hold on till the night's end

[Chorus]
This stone in my chest won't let me breathe easy
I carry the grief like it's all I own
Chasing a smile I can't quite remember
Buried so deep it feels like it's gone

[Bridge]
I don't need the whole world fixed tonight
Just a little less of this ache to hold
One quiet hour without the weight of it
Before the grief comes back and takes its toll
I take it slow, one breath, then one more
Not sure if the morning sets me free
But I'm still here, still breathing through it
Even when the smile won't come to me

[Final Chorus]
This stone in my chest won't let me breathe easy
I carry the grief like it's all I own
Chasing a smile I can't quite remember
Buried so deep it feels like it's gone
