Thread (original demo)

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 fibers start to fray
The long years of working as one
They're 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

I don't know why I said
I'm not in love with you
