Intro
Oh, woah

Verse 1
I used to sit for hours as a kid
Dangle my feet from an old flat bridge
Seeing myself in the water below
Shatter my image with the stones I'd throw

Verse 2
I recall a vacant old shack
Down by the edge of the tobacco patch
A child's reflection in a dirty window
Shatter my image with the stones I'd throw

Chorus
A long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
They shatter my image with the stones they throw
Shatter my image with the stones they throw

Verse 3
I'm far from perfect, but I ain't all bad
It hurts me more than it makes me mad
You gather your stones by stooping so low
And shatter my image with the stones you throw

Bridge
If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones
Don't shatter my image 'til you look at your own
Look at your reflection in your house of glass
Don't open my closet if your own's full of trash
Stay out of my closet if your own's full of trash

Chorus
A long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
They shatter my image with the stones they throw
Shatter my image with the stones they throw
A long time gone and a long time ago
When I shattered my image with the stones I'd throw
The world is cruel and people are cold
They shatter my image with the stones they throw
Shatter my image with the stones they throw

Post-Chorus
Shatter my image with the stones you throw
Don't shatter my image with the stones you throw
Shatter my image with the stones you throw
Shatter my image with the stones you throw

Outro
Shatter my image with the stones you throw
You shatter my image with the stones you throw
Shatter my image with the stones you throw
You shatter my image with the stones you throw
Shatter my image with the stones you throw
You shatter my image with the stones you throw
Shatter my image with the stones you throw
You shatter my image with the stones you throw
