BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - The Ties That Bind lyrics

rate me

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

to the ties that bind

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
