Ballad- 1st draft
Cast The Stone Copyright 2015 openmikemusic
V1 She was the first, at times the worst we fought real hard, for 25 long years. Knew early on we’re not that strong, it’ll never last. There’s no surviving these tears.
V2
Before too long, the fight was gone the towel thrown. No winners in this fight. The children cried, we faked and lied, it got real bad, but we always knew that it might.
Chorus
But the sin was mine, the first in line, I was the first to cast the stone. I’ll take the blame for the crazy game it’s all the pain I own. You cleaned the mess and tried your best to make our house a home. You were the last one lookin’ for trouble, I was the first to cast the stone.
V3 She was my second “love”, just because I lost the first. We shared a lot of pain. Our shattered pasts, collided bad things got worse, and suddenly I’m lonely, again.
V4 But It was number 3, the last for me, who broke my heart. I nearly died in the attack.
I’d throw a stone, she’d knock it home and call for more, until I had them all back.
Chorus
But the sin was mine, the first in line, I was the first to cast the stone. I’ll take the blame for the crazy game, a pain I've grown to know. You cleaned the mess and tried your best to make our house a home. You were always ready for trouble, if I was first to cast the stone.
Bridge
It’s better to receive than to give, you will only bleed for a minute. If you throw the first stone, you’ll spend a lifetime alone, there's no other way I can spin it? V5 Number 4, can’t wait no more, gotta take a chance, ‘cause loneliness is worse.
I’ll kiss her scars, beneath the stars, and throw no stones, even if she throws one first.
And I’ll never be, your enemy, or the first to cast the stone. Placing blame and playing games, it’ something we both know. If we make a mess let’s do our best to make our house a home. ‘Cause the only one lookin’ for trouble, Is the first to cast the stone.
The only one looking for trouble’ is the first to cast the stone.

This sounds like it's straight out of you diary. But 25 years is a long time. Looks like you could go the distance.
