I'll cast the first stone Just to take the attention away from me Anything to protect my reputation Because I feel like that's all I have, all I know. What do I look like in their eyes? Is it something desirable? Or am I nothing? What do I look like in their eyes? x2 I'll cast the first stone Like I am the last one to blame Just to shift their condemning eyes away I'll cast the first stone Like I am the last one to blame Just to break their denouncing gaze. Why should I wait to hear their verdict? Why do I care about who they think I should be? x2 I have been bending over backwards for every reason but the right one I have placed value on things that don't deserve it. Now what do I look like to those who matter? Why did I waste all this time on the temporary? It's too easy to take the wrong things to heart Especially from those who seem to have misplaced their own. I won't say that I'll never cast another stone Or that I am the last one to blame But I want to stop living like anyone else's opinion Of who I should be is a regulation in my life. I shouldn't forget there's a difference Between living for other's approval and just living for others.
