Hanging By A Thread - Jann Arden

Changing tides Always against the wind The pain subsides Enough to breathe again How can we know Which way the days will take us Will it break us? Deeper and deeper we go We're spinning out of control Out of control Hanging on by a thread Holding on to what's left Hanging on by a thread Oh, it feels like the end With all the strength that we have Trying to find our way back We're hanging on Hanging on by a thread Reaching out Stretching across the dark Breaking down Searching for who we are Time stands still Wishing that we could change this Feeling faithless Further and further we go We're drifting out of control We've lost control Hanging on by a thread Holding on to what's left Hanging on by a thread Oh, it feels like the end With all the strength that we have Trying to find our way back We're hanging on Hanging on by a thread Hanging on by a thread Holding on to what's left Hanging on by a thread Oh, it feels like the end With all the strength that we have Trying to find our way back We're hanging on Hanging on by a thread Oh-oh Hanging on by a thread With all of the strength that we have Hanging on Hanging on by a thread We're hanging on Hanging on 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 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 I'm 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 For all the times we've hurt eachother, 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

My past has followed me and I just can't get away I'm not the same as I was Leaving my disarray (Take me just as I am) I'm broken down (Pull me into your arms) I'm hanging on to every word Save me from losing myself I'm hanging on by a thread Can you see who I am Underneath my scars? I'm afraid to fall So I'm holding onto you No, I won't let go I'm hanging on by a thread I still can hardly believe The person I once was I'm trying so hard to change Help me work through my flaws (Take me just as I am) I'm calling out (Pull me into your arms) I'm holding on, to every breath Save me from losing myself I'm hanging on by a thread Can you see who I am Underneath my scars? I'm afraid to fall So I'm holding onto you No, I won't let go I'm hanging on by a thread I'll never need I'll never want With you and me I'm so complete I'll never run I'll never hide With you right here I'm safe inside Save me from losing myself I'm afraid to fall So I'm holding onto you No, I won't let go Save me from losing myself I'm hanging on by a thread Can you see who I am Underneath my scars? I'm afraid to fall So I'm holding onto you No, I won't let go I'm hanging on by a thread

(Fuck I don't wanna wake up) She gettin' me high In my dreams When I close my eyes I need Visine See an angel walkin' by In tight jeans I pretend she's mine In my dreams Just let me sleep I ran into her Countin' sheep The only time She look at me I'm out my mind She's out of reach Oh, she's out of reach She gettin' me high In my dreams When I close my eyes I need Visine See an angel walkin' by In tight jeans I pretend she's mine (she's mine) In my dreams She gettin' me high In my dreams When I close my eyes I need Visine See an angel walkin' by In tight jeans I pretend she's mine (she's mine) In my dreams In HD A movie on My mental screen The one she's in My favorite scene Now I just hope She never leaves (leaves) Hope she never leaves (leaves) Oooooh oh She my melatonin Muse I'm in heaven She gettin' me high In my dreams When I close my eyes I need Visine See an angel walkin' by In tight jeans I pretend she's mine In my dreams She gettin' me high In my dreams When I close my eyes I need Visine See an angel walkin' by In tight jeans I pretend she's mine In my dreams

When I brought her to LA She was starstruck How they livin' off of Adderall and Starbucks Started asking "Baby, when can it be my turn?" To go off lightin' up the sky Before I'm stardust And I don't need a fight In the mornin' My baby crazy Got me yellin' while I'm yawnin' She go from naked Then to makin' me exhausted It's exhaustin' So we look both ways And walk down Sunset 'Cause she saw fame And now she's obsessed With all these fakes I swear this life is Gon' break her down Her friends said she's changed She's always upset Versace shades and A Gucci sundress To hide the pain 'Cause this ain't quite what She had planned out (Nope) Yeah Man, I spent a couple years On the west coast In time I find it's getting hard For me to let go She want whatever she can take To get her mind right And she ain't never gonna make it But she'll get close My heart been hurtin' Ever since she said "You're homesick" My head been hurtin' Since six this mornin' Proceed with caution Every step is at your own risk And this is somethin' You ain't seen before I can't bounce back When she gets that Way with herself 'Cause she's my angel But she puts herself Through hell So we look both ways And walk down Sunset 'Cause she saw fame And now she's obsessed With all these fakes I swear this life is Gon' break her down Friends said she's changed She's always upset Versace shades and A Gucci sundress To hide the pain 'Cause this ain't quite what She had planned out (Nope)

Said you tryna be happy I wish you good luck I would rather drink liquor I would rather smoke blunts Got a pain in my chest And a heart that sucks They don't give second chances Well, I don't give fucks Trying to give praise To get to heaven's gates They don't wanna take advice From a kid my age All I'm gonna say Is "let's get faced" It's not like anything Really matter anyway But I guess it depends On what's inside your head I'm in a rut And outta town Swear my whole world's upside down There ain't much I'd do instead Guess I'm indifferent Oh Oh Oh Oh My whole life I looked for light Let the whole world In my heart Far as I know We don't know where to go Where to go When it gets dark When it gets freezin' and bleak We don't even know where to start Far as I know We don't know where to go Where to go When it gets dark So we sing Oh Oh Oh Oh
