By A Thread

by Dan Ward

-1st Verse-

I wish I could stop what's making me feel this way inside
When I saw you with another man I saw my dreams denied
I'm standing in the corner calling out your name
After all that we've been through I thought it could be the same

Woh you took me for a fool and I really played the part
Do you think it's still to late for me to get inside your heart

-Chorus-

Can't you see I'm hanging on by a thread
Don't you see me standing still while the lights are turning red
Can't you see I'm hanging on by a thread
Don't you see me on the tracks and the train is just ahead

-2nd Verse-

You see me one way and I see you another
Can't you see that there are things inside to discover
How do you know you can't feel the way that I do
And how do you know that you don't love me too

Woh I acted really tough but I'm really not that way
How can you look me straight in the eye and have nothing to say

-Chorus-

Can't you see I'm hanging on by a thread
Don't you see me standing still while the lights are turning red
Can't you see I'm hanging on by a thread
Don't you see me on the tracks and the train is just ahead

-Bridge 2-

Empty arms can't hold me up inside
And broken hearts can't wear a thin disguise
I'm hanging on by a thread

-Solo-

Woh you took me for a fool and I really played the part
Do you think it's still too late for me to get inside your heart

-Chorus-

Can't you see I'm hanging on by a thread
Don't you see me standing still while the lights are turning red
Can't you see I'm hanging on by a thread
Don't you see me on the tracks and the train is just ahead

-Outro-

Can't you see me hanging there
Can't you, can't you, can't you see me hanging
