The vows we make
The ties that bind
Your broken heart
Your grieving mind
The faceless days
The endless nights
The who was wrong
The who was right
The ties that bind
The winter chill
The summer wine
Friends of yours
Not friends of mine
The people that
You thought you knew
The same old me
This brand new you
The ties that bind
CHORUS
Innocence
Stubborn pride
Guilt we share
Thoughts you hide
In a sense
The angry why
Sets me free
Breaks these ties
The ties that bind
The love that came
But didn't stay
Those simple words
I didn't say
Not black or white
But shades of grey
The perfect sense
Of disarray
The ties that bind
(Repeat Chorus)
The dancing hall
The country club
The holy church
The corner pub
It's nothing more
But so much less
The overcrowd
Of loneliness
The ties that bind

I also like this song and wonder does it have music? Is it about someone inparticular? Again your talent is amazing

I think I like this one, but again, I want a melody. Nice contrasts. One problem for me: "The same old me/This brand new you" cloys, seems pat, a cliche. Nobody stays the "same old", really, even when Person A can no longer stand those traits in Person B that were always annoying--Person B isn't "brand new", merely tired of tolerating. And both are still at fault, "shades of grey" in that "perfect sense of disarray". Which could be your point... But I still don't like that line.
