Hanging On By A Thread Lyrics

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) (I'm calling out)
Pull me into your arms
(I'm hanging on, to every word) (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 on to you
No I won’t let go
I'm hanging on by a thread

I still can hardly believe
The person I once was
Im trying so hard to change
Help me work through my flaws

I’ll never need
I’ll never want
With you, with me
I'm so complete
I’ll never run
I’ll never hide
With you right here
I'm safe inside

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.
