Hanging By a Thread

Hello, hello, hello my darling,
Have we reached the end?
Cause when the stitches fall apart... we're hanging by a thread.
Hello, hello, hello my darling,
Some things never change!
When our words are dipped in gasoline,
Our love goes up in flames!
I tried so hard to get behind your mental barricade.
But every time it leaves me feeling damaged, torn, and frayed!
Hanging by a thread...
Hanging by a thread...
When you break my heart, i fall apart 'til you stitch me up again!
I'm tired of all the drama that unravels in your head...
Well, it's easy to get tangled up when your world is torn to shreds.
And every time you spit at me, some day you will regret!
An ounce of insecurity is worth a pound of lead!
Hanging by a thread.
Hanging by a thread.
When you break my heart, i fall apart 'til you stitch me up again!
Oh...hanging by a thread.
Oh...hanging by a thread.
C'mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red.
C'mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause i'm hanging by a thread!
Hey!
(are torn to shreds!!!)
(woah woou...woah woou...)
Hello, hello, hello my darling, have we reached the end?
Cause when the stitches fall apart we're hanging by a thread.
For all the times we've hurt each other,
With all the things we've said.
Well, it's hard to hold this olive branch with a gun against my head!
Hanging by a thread.
Hanging by a thread.
When you break my heart, i fall apart 'til you stitch me up again
Hanging by a thread.
Hanging by a thread.
C'mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red!
C'mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause these rags are turning red!
C'mon patch me up, or cut me loose, cause i'm hanging by a thread!
