Thread - Keane

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

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