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

You walk down the street pushing people outta 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



Cheap romance, it's all 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



I would rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling

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 the 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
