Cast The First Stone

I'll cast the first stone

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?

What do I look like in their eyes?



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 who they think I should be?

Why should I wait to hear you verdict?

Why do I care who you think I should be?



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

There's a difference

Between living for others' approval and just living for the others
