VERSE 1
You kept me locked up tight in a little jar
Like a firefly so I couldn't go far

With accusing eyes, scrutinized my every move
Like a tumbled tree, you cut me down to size
Then asked why I had tears in my eyes

You made me feel like I had something to prove

PRE CHORUS

Like a scolding parent, you kept me in line
But now I'm cutting the ties that bind


CHORUS
'Cause you can't turn gravel into gold
And I'll never find home drivin' down this road

If this bridge ain't crossed
I'll always be lost
I'm shakin' the moss off this stone

Well I tossed and turned til I finally learned
If I stay with you, I'll only get burned
I guess I've always known

I'd be better off alone

VERSE 2

You clipped my wings, tried to keep me caged
If I talked to guys, you'd fly into a rage
An invisible leash kept me bound to your side

But love without trust ain't love at all
And I can't love a man who makes me feel so small
Now I'm taking back my freedom and my pride


PRE CHORUS
I'm not that naïve little girl no more

Nothin's stoppin' me from walkin' out that door

CHORUS

'Cause you can't turn gravel into gold
And I'll never find home drivin' down this road
If this bridge ain't crossed

I'll always be lost
I'm shakin' the moss off this stone
Well I tossed and turned til I finally learned

If I stay with you, I'll only get burned
I guess I've always known
I'd be better off


BRIDGE
If I could just get out from under your thumb

You always had your freedom, and I had none
Sick of walkin' on egg shells to keep the peace
Keepin' my head down

'Cause you think I'm checkin' out other guys
So this is my goodbye


CHORUS
'Cause I can't turn gravel into gold
And I'll never find home drivin' down this road

If this bridge ain't crossed
I'll always be lost
I'm shakin' the moss, shakin' the moss

Well I tossed and turned til I finally learned
If I stay with you, I'll only get burned
I guess I've always known

I guess I've always known
I'd be better off alone


Alone
Mmm...better off alone
