Hanging By A Thread
- PC

I thought we were going fine, our love
Our bond so strong
I thought you were my inspiration
And that I was yours
How was I to know
You were with other girls

Tell me now what to do
So I can be right there with you
There's so many things that have gone wrong
Part of the reason why I'm singing this song

You told me that our love was dead
So why am I still hanging by a thread?

I just wonder why it took you so long
To tell me the truth
You lied to me all that time
Kept me hanging by a thread
I don't think I'll ever truly understand
Why our love is dead

Tell me now what to do
So I can stay far away from you
There's so many things that you've done wrong
Part of the reason why I'm singing this song

You told me that our love was dead
So why am I still hanging by a thread?

This time it's well and truly over
To tell you the truth
I ain't ever lied to you, at any time
Never kept you hanging by a thread
I don't think I'll ever truly understand
Why our love is dead

Tell me now what to do
To have nothing to do with you
There's so many things that you can't do right
Part of the reason why I'm saying goodnight

You told me that our love was dead
So why am I still hanging by a thread?

Why is it where there's a hint of normality
I turn around and there I am, grovelling apologetically
You seem to have me
Wrapped around your finger
But not for long, my dear
Our love is truly dead
And I still am, I fear
Hanging by a thread

You told me that our love was dead
So why am I still hanging by a thread?
