What's a small broken object from a once whole piece
It's not my heart, it's a pebble...
What's dark, dry, and useless with no ability to please
It's not my heart, it's a pebble...
What's kicked by feet that pass it by
It's not my heart, it's a pebble
Not able to feel not able to cry
It's not my heart, it's a pebble
Walked on, stomped on, thrown into the dark
Well-- I suppose there's no real difference between that pebble and my heart...
