Hanging On By A Thread
The Letter Black Lyrics

My past has followed me and
I'm haunted by my past, and I can't seem to escape its grasp.

I just can't get away
Despite my efforts to move on, my past continues to hold me back.

I'm not the same as I was
I've grown and changed, but my past still lingers within me.

Leaving my disarray
I'm trying to leave behind the chaos and confusion that my past has caused.

Take me just as I am
Accept me for who I am, flaws and all.

(I'm broken down)
I'm feeling vulnerable and in need of support.

Pull me into your arms
Hold me close and provide me with comfort and safety.

(I'm hanging on, to every word)
I'm listening intently to what you're saying, hoping to find guidance and hope.

Save me from losing myself
Help me stay true to who I am and not get lost in my own doubts and fears.

I'm hanging on by a thread
My situation is precarious, and I'm barely holding onto hope.

Can you see who I am
Do you understand me, even with all of my flaws and scars?

Underneath my scars
Beneath the physical and emotional scars, there's a person who's hurting and trying to heal.

I'm afraid to fall
I'm scared of failing and losing everything that I've worked so hard for.

So I'm holding on to you
I'm relying on you for support and strength to keep going.

No I won't let go
I'm committed to getting through this, and I won't give up.

I still can hardly believe
Sometimes it's hard for me to accept how much I've changed and grown.

The person I once was
I'm not proud of who I used to be and what I used to do.

I'm trying so hard to change
I'm actively working on becoming a better person and leaving my past behind.

Help me work through my flaws
Assist me in identifying and overcoming my shortcomings and weaknesses.

(I'm calling out)
I'm reaching out for help and support from those around me.

(I'm holding on to every breath)
I'm clinging to every moment and opportunity to improve myself and my situation.

I'll never need
With you by my side, I have everything I could ever require.

I'll never want
I'm fulfilled and content with what I have, and I don't crave anything more.

With you, with me
As long as we're together, I'll never be alone or without support.

I'm so complete
You complete me and make me feel whole, despite my imperfections.

I'll never run
I won't run away from my problems or from the people who care about me.

I'll never hide
I won't conceal my true self or pretend to be someone I'm not.

With you right here
As long as you're nearby, I feel safe and protected.

I'm safe inside
I feel secure in my own skin and in my relationship with you.
