tied to a stone

i woke up this morning

and prayed to god

oh

let it be a dream

her side of the bed was cold

and layin' there beside me was her ring

with a note that she had left for me

layin' where she used to lay her head

and i felt the world fall in on me

for this is what she said. tied to a stone

ain't no way to live

i can't go on

livin' like this

i'd rather be lonely

and face life alone

than to go on this way

day after day

tied to a stone. i always thought i gave her

everything that any girl could want

the diamonds on her fingers

a new car and a big two-story home

oh

but home became a prison

and lookin' back now i can see it all

oh

i'd give the world if i could change the things

that made her climb that wall. she said

tied to a stone

ain't no way to live

i can't go on

livin' like this

i'd rather be lonely

and face life alone

than to go on this way

day after day

tied to a stone. i'd rather be lonely

and face life alone

than to go on this way

day after day

tied to a stone.
