When the First Stone is Thrown
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
