The First Stone Lyrics by David Gray

Dear Life

2025

[Verse 1]
\nYou saw it in my face, I couldn't hide it
\nTime made an open space, we stepped inside it
\nYou saw the better part of me, I let it show through
\nI saw the sweeter part of you, don't ever want to
\nBe the one to throw the first stone
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nWe made a silent pact never to state it
\nWisdom after the fact was overrated
\nYou took the better part of me, folded it into
\nInto the sweeter part of you, who'd evеr want to
\nBe the one to throw thе first stone (Oh)
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nI thought I knew the rush, nothing prepared me
\nBoy, when it hit me flush, force of it scared me
\nI saw the sweeter part of you, what else could I do?
\nGave you the beating heart in me
\nWhy did you have to
\nBe the one to throw the first stone? (Oh)
\n
\n[Hook]
\nUnfolding in ways
\nWe can scarcely imagine
\nUnfolding in ways
\nWe can scarcely imagine
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nEvery dumb thing exists, gets our attention
\nThe angel in our midst goes without mention
\nYou took the better part of me, folded it into
\nInto the sweeter part of you, why did you have to
\nBe the one to throw the first stone? (Oh)\n\n
