BY A THREAD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just an after thought in the morning

Will your broken eyes ever heed the warning?

My heart could touch your soul if you would just let it

My head can’t let you go so girl just forget it

And I hang by a thread

Everyday when I let your memory back into me and

I wish I was dead

Then and only then would I forget you

Then and only then would I forget your name

Just an early train of new emotions

Arriving at the station and causing commotion

My heart is cinder so my head just forgets it

My soul can’t pretend but the pain seems to let it

And I hang by a thread

Everyday when I let your memory back into me and

I wish I was dead

Then and only then would I forget you

Then and only then would I forget your name

If I can’t breath the air then I can’t breath you in

This is my despair and you know this

If I can’t burn what doesn’t even exist

Then when will my power of resistance start kicking in?

You’re my dilemma

You are my shame

A scar on the wound of time

You are my enemy

You are to blame

A victim of your own Divine

Why didn’t you save me from all the things that you promised me

That you were going save me from?

And I hang by a thread

Everyday when I let your memory back into me and

I wish I was dead

Then and only then would I forget you

Then and only then would I forget your name

Then an only then would I ever let you

Then and only then would I ever let you back in

Yes I would let you back in

I would let you back in again

And I hang by a thread
