Cut The Cord

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
