Hanging by a thread connecting me to you To who I've always been To all we said we'd do A fine thread, not tough enough to bear The weight of desire and despair Untended, the fibres start to fray The long years of working as one Were just washed away Well maybe it was just our time Forgive me, remember that I'm A good man, just not good enough Don't hate me, I was just in love And hanging by a thread Hold me in your arms Where everything made sense Where I knew right from wrong Could live with restlessness All my life I won't forget the pain in your eyes I'm still scrubbing at the stain of this mess Wish you could understand The madness that grabbed at my throat And clung to my hands Well maybe it was just our time Forgive me, remember that I'm A good man, just not good enough Don't hate me, I was just in love And caught in my own net Hanging, left spinning in the wind Sliding, you grab at anything Just lost our way, we just lost our way You try to be all things to all men And wind up with a love that's spread too thin Just lost our way The walls that we built were just washed away Well maybe it was just our time Forgive me, remember that I'm A good man, just not good enough Don't hate me, I was just in love And hanging by a thread --- Thread - Keane
