Cut The Cord

The pictures slash across my eyes
All those "Where were you's?" And all those lies
But that's the way the world goes, that's the way it turns
A little lovin' spent is a lot of livin' earned

And all you do I use to cut the cord
And though I'm sadder than I ever was before
I'm the fool you use to cut the cord
And though I'm dying now I'm bound to be reborn

Don't look for me, 'cause I won't be there
Where were you then? Where are you now?
And if we meet in the distance, yeah, if I'm in your part of town
Well don't let on you know the girl you hit when she was down

All you do I use to cut the cord
And though I'm sadder than I've ever been before
All you do I'll use to cut the cord
And though it feels like dying now I'm bound to be reborn

This time of night I'm prone to cry
Especially when you are not by my side
No explanations, there's a future to find
Someday you'll be the saddest song I'll ever write

And all you do I use to cut the cord
And though I'm sadder than I've ever been before
All you do I'll use to cut the cord
And though it feels like dying I'm bound to be reborn

Don't look for me, 'cause I won't be there
Where were you then? Where are you now?
And in my dreams and fantasies describe the perfect man
You were just a wonderful lover but never enough of a friend

All you do I use to cut the cord
All you do I use to cut the cord
