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 about who they think I should be?

Why should I wait to hear their verdict?

Why do I care about who they 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

Between living for other's approval and just living for others
