A Thread For Each Tear Shed Lyrics

Hung from a rope of regret
Each thread for a tear shed
But this is just a dream
An emphasis on reality
A nightmare worse than hell
Which is a knife cutting me open
You caressed my heart in your gentle hands
Then tore it out to be placed on a platter
And fed to the hungry demons of your game
I find myself caught in between your clenched fist
When will I break free?
When will it be my chance to rise?
I’m losing hope faster than I can gain
The light is so far from here
My broken wings mend
Time to rise
I escape into the hands of my real savior
I’ve stopped putting trust in people
They’re so imperfect
Why would I anyway?
When I’ll be safe forever
In the hands
The loving and gentle hands
Of my savior

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

reading these lyrics, almsot seems like a relationship is now lost, someone played you for a fool, and u can only wait, until the true person comes in your presence. "my savior" indicating "the one".
