Lyrics

Pull On A Thread

I can still remember it was always the same
Dad would stay at work all night or just turn on the game
Mom would let me help in the kitchen or send me out to play
Even sitting in the same room dad was always miles away

I said does Daddy love us is he here to stay
Of course she?d say dear he used to tell me everyday
She lately she doesn?t ask some things are better left unsaid
Things come apart at the seams when you PULL ON A THREAD

And she said
If you open a can you can?t shut the lid
If you don?t want trouble don?t go where trouble is
If you don?t like what you see then close your eyes instead
Things come apart at the seams when you PULL ON A THREAD

It started out so fine there was love in our eyes
It used to be so easy and now we don?t try
We hardly ever talk like we used to through the night
And lately we don?t glow when we turn out the lights

I said ?do you love me and are you here to stay?
You said ?I can?t live like this I think it?s time that we parted ways?
And as your truth poured out I heard the words that my mother said
Things come apart at the seams when you PULL ON A THREAD

(Repeat Chorus)
