I Turned to Stone Lyrics

I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away
Now it seems my friends no longer call
Everything was better then
I can still remember when
I saw the future with a certain glow

So I turned to stone
As I learned to know
When I turned to stone
Tell myself I'm feeling all alone

Many days have passed me by
Celebrate with sunny skies
Still, I know I need a helping hand
And the friends I thought I knew
See them change my every view
Now it seems I'm seeing them as they really are

No, I turned to stone
As I learned to know
When I turned to stone
Tell myself I'm feeling all alone

I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song captures well the loss of innocence and the accompanying loneliness that comes with growing older and realizing that life is not always as hopeful or supportive as it once seemed. It talks about the universal themes of disappointment, loss of innocence, and character growth. When you get older, you sometimes reminisce about a time when everything seemed better and you once had a hopeful outlook on the future. At a certain point, you grow numb to the cruelty of life, causing your heart to turn to stone.
