The Ties That Bind

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

You walk down the street pushin' people out of your way

You've 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

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 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

Oh I'd, I'd rather feel the 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 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
