Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Sleeping With The Past Help me information Get emotion on the line This war that's raging in my heart's Getting harder all the time Our painted smiles are cracking Our worried friends just frown We got a runaway train on an empty track That's trying to run us down And I'm a stone's throw from hurtin' Everything we put together Knee deep in learning about burning this bridge forever I'm a stone's throw, a stone's throw A stone's throw from hurtin' And I know it's never gonna get no better Crippled conversation hangs inside this house Our voices just get ugly When our love gets all talked out Your goodnight kiss ain't hungry Our touches don't connect We're just a couple of kids with a broken toy That our idle fingers wrecked Some things get broken When stones get thrown Some things get better When you leave what you love And you let what you love alone Some things get broken When stones get thrown Some things get better when you leave what you love And let what you love alone
