Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no need to wipe your eyes
The story is over
By now you should know
That there is no mending our broken bones
'Cause I've got no stones to throw
And no chains to hold around you now
I will be leaving you tonight
Don't count on me to wave goodbye
The chips are in
By now you should know
That nobody wins when we both fall
'Cause I've got no stones to throw
And no chains to hold around you now
I've got no stones to throw
And no chains to hold around you now
I've got no stones to throw
And no chains to hold around you now
The lyrics to the song "Stones" by Mike Mains & The Branches is a story of a relationship that has reached its end.

The singer acknowledges that they have broken bones in their relationship, implying that they have been hurt by their partner's actions. However, the singer doesn't have any stones to throw or chains to hold around their partner.
The line "nobody wins when we both fall" implies that both the singer and their partner have caused damage to the relationship, and it's time to move on.
