Funny how life hits you out of the blue
Like yesterday i went walking
Not a stone in my shoe
When the phone rings i pick it up
Saying how do you do
Then a voice says something terrible
I already knew
She's cutting loose the ties tha t bind
I'm the one who' s being left behind
Aint nobody's fault but my own
But bruises are made
When the first stone is thrown
A few simple words can change everything
Can make church bells toll
And make sirens sing
But some words are so hurtful
They leave a lasting stain
And these words have left me s tanding
Crying in the r ain
She's cutting loose the ties tha t bind
I'm the one who' s being left behind
Aint nobody's fault but my own
But bruises are made
When the first stone is thrown
Now i'm back in cir culation
And play my hand i mus t
But the dice are loaded
And the game seems los t
I curse the hazy moment
Under a blue moon
Because the night ends t oo fast
And the truth w ants out too soon
She's cutting loose the ties tha t bind
I'm the one who' s being left behind
Aint nobody's fault but my own
But bruises are made
When the first stone is thrown
She's cutting loose the ties tha t bind
I'm the one who' s being left behind
Aint nobody's fault but my own
And i bow my head
As the firs t stone is thrown
Aint no use pr etending just take the blow
You're going to reap what you've sown
Somesody once told me so
