Stone Woman serves as the opening song. It's a midtempo R&B song as Wilson talks about the cold strength and beauty of a relationship singing, "Oh, I know/ You're breaking stone/ Oh, you're so cold/ You're sculpted through my mind/ No end in sight/ Won't go, so cold", and she continues with, "Stone woman, stone woman, stone woman, stone woman/ Stone woman, stone woman, stone woman, stone woman".

On Doubt, the singer finds herself going through a tough breakup. On the first verse of the song, she sings, "I'm done with doubt/ I'm done with drinkin'/ Cause I've been away/ And I've been think'/ I may not always have/ The comfort of you", and then she asks a question to her lover saying, "What have I done for your love?/ Oooh ohh... I'm selfish and dumb for your love".


Nothing New is about issues repeating themselves in a relationship with the lyrics, "Are we really gone this far?/ We yell upstream to watch it fall/ Have we still the fanciest clue?/The past repeats to nothing new", and then sings on the first verse, "Every day is a shot in the dark and we're tested/ Fate and luck are more or less than/ It's nothing new, oh-oh-oh, oh".

Let You Down is where Charlotte addresses her love interest saying that she's not going to let them down even though to leave everything behind singing, "Baby, you say it takes you years before you trust someone/ But I don't know how long there's got if this has just begun/ Because I know that.../ I'm only letting you down/ I'm only letting you down/ And I know it's hard, leaving it all behind/ But I know, I'll only let you down".




Falling Apart talks about Charlotte's downfall after the end of a romance with lyrics like, "I keep falling apart, oh yeah baby, when I'm falling to hard/ And I keep stalling the start, anytime it's almost dawn it gets dark", and, "Falling deeper and I'm never coming home/ Never coming home, no/ And no one told me, but I just wanna go/ Never coming home, no".

Funeral is the closing song for Stone Woman. This is where the singer is mourning the death of her lover singing, "I went to a funeral, so I could feel something/ Don't know what I'm living for. if I don't feel nothing/ Where are you without me now, I see it in my head/ Getting high my nature girl, I wish you all the best", and then gets personal on the chorus with, "Oh, anytime I think of you, I'm empty hearted/ Oh, tell me how it got so far from where we started".
