Hanging by a thread connecting me to you

To who I've always been

To all we said we'd do.

A fine thread, not tough enough to bear

The weight of desire and despair

Untended, the fibers start to fray

The long years of working as one

Were just washed away.

Well maybe it was just our time

Forgive me, remember that I'm

A good man, just not good enough

Don't hate me, I was just in love

And hanging by a thread.

Hold me in your arms

Where everything made sense

Where I knew right from wrong

Could live with restlessness

All my life I won't forget the pain in your eyes

I'm still scrubbing at the stain of this mess

Wish you could understand

The madness that grabbed at my throat

And clung to my hands.

Well maybe it was just our time

Forgive me, remember that I'm

A good man, just not good enough

Don't hate me, I was just in love

And caught in my own net.

Hanging, left spinning in the wind

Sliding, you grab at anything

Just lost our way, we just lost our way

You try to be all things to all men

And wind up with a love that's spread too thin

Just lost our way

The walls that we built were just washed away.

Well maybe it was just our time

Forgive me, remember that I'm

A good man, just not good enough

Don't hate me, I was just in love

And hanging by a thread.

I don't know why I said

I'm not in love with you.
