In Her Words: “I recently unearthed the lyrics to this song and put them to music. I wrote this after a breakup and then couldn’t play it for a few years because of feelings and stuff. At the time, I was feeling all kinds of guilt for not being able to be what this particular person thought I was and should be. [I] was expected to be unconditionally supportive without reciprocation, which is where the whole rock metaphor started. In other words, it’s a breakup song — but I learned a lot about rocks in the process.” — Ruby Landen
