Threads

Hold on

The broken life holds a promise 
As you're standing on the edge 
Will you take your chances 
Will you take another step 

The voices whisper comfort
But you tune them out 
You're tired, and you're hurt 
And your heart beat's awful loud 

You're falling apart
And you're not sure why 
Is it a broken heart 
That you're trying to hide 

You're holding on 
By just a thread 
You pretend that nothing's wrong 
But it only hurts worse instead 

There's promise in the tragic 
There's peace inside the pain 
When not a tear is shed 
Then not a tear remains
