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
