Golden Thread

I'm holding on for dear life, it's not looking good
Is it now, is it now?
It's all up in the air and never coming down
Coming down, is it now?
Spinning through my fingers, watch it go
Out of my hands, out of my hands
All over again
I'm hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Just wanna know while everything's unraveling
I'm hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Don't sew it off; it's lovely tearing at the seams
It's what it is
It's you and me
I'm standing in the in-between of what I was and what I need
Slipping through my fingers, watch it go
Out of my hands, out of my hands
All over again
I'm hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Just wanna know while everything's unraveling
I'm hanging on, just hanging by a golden thread
Please don't watch me, please don't watch me cry
Oh I don't wanna be this way
It's harder than it looks, so please don't watch me cry
And admit that I'm frayed
