Bruce Springsteen - The Ties That Bind

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] The ties that bind Now you can't break the ties that bind [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] You can't forsake the ties that bind
