Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know it changes
A restless tide, untameable
You came my way
And I knew a storm could come too
You'd lift me high, or let me fall
But I took your hand
Any blaze you blew my way
'Cause something inside
It solidified
And I knew I'd always stay
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone
You say we're perfect
A perfect family
You hold us close for the world to see
And when I say you're the only one I've ever loved
I mean those words truthfully
But I know, without my son
Your love could disappear
And though it isn't fair
But I don't care
'Cause my love will still be here
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakable
When the fire's burnt
When the wind has blown
When the water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone
Soon I'll have to go
I'll never see him grow
But I hope my son will know
He'll never be alone
'Cause like a river runs dry
And leaves its scars behind
I'll be by your side
'Cause my love is set in stone
Yeah
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone
You can build me up
You can tear me down
You can try but I'm unbreakable
You can do your best
But I'll stand the test
You'll find that I'm unshakable
The fire's burnt
The wind has blown
The water's dried
You'll still find stone
My heart of stone

You've got a good heart
You possess a kind and compassionate nature
But I know it changes
However, I am aware that your demeanor can fluctuate
A restless tide, untameable
Your emotions are unpredictable and difficult to control
You came my way
You entered into my life
And I knew a storm could come too
And I understood that turmoil might also ensue
You'd lift me high, or let me fall
You had the power to either support or abandon me
But I took your hand
Nevertheless, I chose to hold onto your companionship
Promised I'd withstand
I made a vow to endure
Any blaze you blew my way
Any challenges or difficulties you presented
'Cause something inside
Because a strong conviction within me
It solidified
It became firm and unwavering
And I knew I'd always stay
And I was certain that I would remain by your side
You can build me up
You have the ability to uplift me
You can tear me down
You have the power to break me apart
You can try but I'm unbreakable
Yet, I remain resilient and indestructible
You can do your best
You can give your utmost effort
But I'll stand the test
But I will persevere and overcome the challenges
You'll find that I'm unshakable

When the flames have ceased
When the wind has blown
When the gusts have subsided
When the water's dried
When the river has evaporated
You'll still find stone
You will still encounter my unwavering strength
My heart of stone
The unyielding core of my being
You say we're perfect
You claim that we are flawless
A perfect family
An idealized portrayal of our household
You hold us close for the world to see
You maintain a facade of unity for public perception
And when I say you're the only one I've ever loved
And when I express that you are my one and only true love
I mean those words truthfully
I sincerely speak those words with honesty
But I know, without my son
However, I am aware that without my child
Your love could disappear
Your affection may fade away
And though it isn't fair
Even though it is unjust
But I don't care
But I am unconcerned
'Cause my love will still be here
Because my love for my child will always endure
Soon I'll have to go
In the near future, I will have to depart
I'll never see him grow
I will never witness his growth
But I hope my son will know
However, I desire for my child to understand
He'll never be alone
That he will never be without support
'Cause like a river runs dry
Because just as a river dries up
And leaves its scars behind
And leaves behind marks of its absence
I'll be by your side
I will be present and supportive
'Cause my love is set in stone
Because my love is steadfast and unwavering
You'll still find stone
You will still encounter my unwavering strength
My heart of stone
The unyielding core of my being
The fire's burnt
The flames have ceased
The wind has blown
The gusts have subsided
The water's dried
The river has evaporated
You can build me up
You have the ability to uplift me
You can tear me down
You have the power to break me apart
You can try but I'm unbreakable
Yet, I remain resilient and indestructible
You can do your best
You can give your utmost effort
But I'll stand the test
But I will persevere and overcome the challenges
You'll find that I'm unshakable
You will discover that I cannot be easily swayed
The fire's burnt
The flames have ceased
The wind has blown
The gusts have subsided
The water's dried
The river has evaporated
You'll still find stone
You will still encounter my unwavering strength
My heart of stone
The unyielding core of my being
