Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
And through the grief and pain, I'm half insane
I give an inch, you take a mile
You throw away the key, ignore my plea
You cut me down without a trial

(You keep me hanging by)
Hanging by a thread
(You keep me hanging by)
Leaving me for dead
(You keep me hanging by)
I heard it when you said
(You keep me hanging by)
Keep him hanging by a thread

You throw a length of rope, I grab, you hope
It's just enough to hang myself
I make a fatal slip, I lose my grip
There's no one left to call for help

(You keep me hanging by)
Hanging by a thread
(You keep me hanging by)
Leaving me for dead
(You keep me hanging by)
I'm not finished yet
(You keep me hanging by)
I'm still hanging by a thread

I hear a final scream, another dream
I hear it then I start to go
(Hang him by a thread)
I recognize the pain, a time to play
Then stuck me to the afterglow
(Hang him by a thread)
Then I wake up wet, soaked in sweat
Tell you all you want to know
(Hang him by a thread)
And through the grief and pain, I'm half insane   I give an inch, you take a mile   You throw away the key, ignore my plea   You cut me down without a trial      (You keep me hanging by)   Hanging by a thread   (You keep me hanging by)   Leaving me for dead   (You keep me hanging by)   I heard it when you said   (You keep me hanging by)   Keep him hanging by a thread      You throw a length of rope, I grab, you hope   It's just enough to hang myself   I make a fatal slip, I lose my grip   There's no one left to call for help      (You keep me hanging by)   Hanging by a thread   (You keep me hanging by)   Leaving me for dead   (You keep me hanging by)   I'm not finished yet   (You keep me hanging by)   I'm still hanging by a thread      I hear a final scream, another dream   I hear it then I start to go   (Hang him by a thread)   I recognize the pain, a time to play   Then stuck me to the afterglow   (Hang him by a thread)   Then I wake up wet, soaked in sweat   Tell you all you want to know   (Hang him by a thread)
