"A Man Ain't Made Of Stone" lyrics - RANDY TRAVIS

I was supposed to be the rock
That you could stand on
Stronger than an old oak tree
But all you ever wanted was the one thing
That I never let you see -
The tender side of me

I tried to be a mountain
Solid and strong
All it took was your leavin'
To know I was wrong

[Chorus:]
A man ain't made of stone
A man ain't made of steel
The way I feel right now
I thought I'd never feel
And sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that's when you know
A man ain't made of stone

In this world of mine there was
No room for weakness
I covered every crack in the wall
But there ain't no way that I can
Keep this secret
'Cause when you go
Like Cheriko I fall

You thought I wouldn't shatter
Would I even care?
But there's more to what I'm made of
Than this broken heart can bear

[Chorus]

Sometimes all it takes
Is facing the night alone
And that's when you know
A man ain't made of stone
