Lyrics
The Thread
Candles burning
This glass of wine
Isn't full enough
To drink you off my mind
He thought of every detail
Put on Ray to set the mood
But I couldn't help when he held me
I was dancing with you
And it's a thin line that you cast my way
I never knew that letting go
Was gonna take all my strength
'Cause if I could let you go
Maybe I could let him in
I'd do anything to make that happen
But if I can't let you go
It's gonna be a long long road ahead
Cause I'm hanging on
Still hanging on
I can't let go of the thread
We had a home
We had a life
But you never wanted
The two point five
I know it's over
You're not the one
To give me all the things
That he knows I what
I can't believe that I keep holding on
If I could let you go
Maybe I could let him in
I'd do anything to make that happen
If I can't let you go
It's gonna be a long long road ahead
Cause I'm hanging on
Still hanging on
I can't let go of the thead
solo
If I could let you go
Maybe I could let him in
I'd do anything to make that happen
If I can't let you go
It's gonna be a long long road ahead
Cause I'm hanging on
Still hanging on
I can't let go of the thead
