The Ties That Bind You been hurt and you're all cried out you say You walk down the street pushin' people outta your way You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride, You don't want nothin', don't need no one by your side You're walkin' tough baby, but you're walkin' blind
(chorus) The ties that bind Now you can't break the ties that bind
Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch You don't want nothin' that anybody can touch You're so afraid of being somebody's fool Not walkin' tough baby, not walkin' cool You walk cool, but darlin', can you walk the line And face the ties that bind The ties that bind Now you can't break the ties that bind
I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes i would darlin', Than know the emptiness your heart must hide, Yes i would darlin', yes i would darlin', Yes i would baby
You sit and wonder just who's gonna stop the rain Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet the pain It's a long dark highway and a thin white line Connecting baby, your heart to mine We're runnin' now but darlin' 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
