The Ties That Bind

You've been hurt and you're all cried out you say

You walk down the street pushing people out of your way

You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride

You don't want nothing, don't need no one by your side

You're walking tough

Baby, but you're walking blind

To the ties that bind

The ties that bind

Now you can't break the ties that bind

A cheap romance, you say it's all just, just a crutch

You don't want nothing that anybody can touch

You're so afraid of being somebody's fool

Not walking tough, baby, not walking cool

You walk cool

But, darling, can you walk the line?

And face the ties that bind

The ties that bind

Now you can't break the ties that bind

Whoa, I

I'd rather feel hurt inside

Yes, I would, darling

Than know

Than know the emptiness your heart must hide

Yes, I would, darling

Yes, I would, darling

Yes, I would, baby

You sit and wonder just who's gonna stop the rain

Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet your pain?

It's a long dark highway and a thin white line

Connecting, baby, your heart to mine

We're running now

But, darling, we will stand in time

To face the ties that bind

The ties that bind

Now you can't break the ties that bind

You can't forsake the ties that bind

Whoa whoa whoa
