"Thread" lyrics

I bet you're sitting, sipping single-barrel bourbon on ice
I'm wandering 'round the house, just wondering if you'll miss me tonight
But you won't, baby
I'm in the kitchen cooking supper, but I'm cooking for one
Fixed you a plate, yeah, just in case your rambling days are done
It's driving me crazy
'Cause I should be at the end of my rope
But I just can't let go

When you said forever, I took it to heart
You wove all your words like a true work of art
You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch
I think I could fix us if you'd just come back
And make something beautiful out of the little that's left
'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread

I saw your mama, and she told me that you asked about me
Hate to admit it, but it's all I've thought about for weeks
So here I sit right by this phone
'Cause you never said how long you'd be gone

When you said forever, I took it to heart
You wove all your words like a true work of art
You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch
I think I could fix us if you'd just come back
And make something beautiful out of the little that's left
'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread

Every thread, every kiss, every touch, every word that you said

When you said forever, I took it to heart
You wove all your words like a true work of art
You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch
And I think I could fix us if you'd just come back
And make something beautiful out of the little that's left
'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread

Oh, I'm still hanging on by a thread, hmm
