The Thread by Shelby Merry Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You told me to figure it out
What's in my heart that I can't seem to pull out
Yeah, I know I'm a mess, but I'm trying my best to feel anything
And why does God feel the need to make broken things?
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I'm a coward when it comes to taking what I want
[?] a minute 'til we were there in the dark
And my voice shakes with the S on the tongue
But my heart won't take what it wants
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna love you
The way that I'm wantin' to
'Cause you're making me face all these things inside
That I don't wanna face
And I don't wanna need you
The way that you're needin' me to
So we just go 'round and 'round
'Til one of us says we're through
[Post-Chorus]
But there's a thread that just keeps pulling me back to you
[Verse 2]
I've got a red thread on my wrist
But it's wrapped itself around my neck
I feel for the unfortunate soul
That's tied to the other end
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I'm a coward when it comes to taking what I want
[?] a minute 'til you kiss me there in the dark
And now I'm screamin' that you're all that I want
And it scares me you could change me this much
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna love you
The way that I'm wantin' to
'Cause you're making me face all these things inside
That I don't wanna face
And I don't wanna need you
The way that you're needin' me to
So we just go 'round and 'round
'Til one of us says we're through
[Post-Chorus]
But there's a thread that just keeps pulling me back to you
[Outro]
And keep my eyes pointed past the horizon
Keep my feet from sinking into the shore
And if you say that it's okay to have what I want
Give me your love and I'll meet you on the other shore
And keep my eyes pointed past the horizon
Keep my feet from sinking into the shore
And if you say that it's okay to have what I want
Give me your love and I'll meet you on the other shore
You told me to figure it out
What's in my heart that I can't seem to pull out
Yeah, I know I'm a mess, but I'm trying my best to feel anything
And why does God feel the need to make broken things?
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I'm a coward when it comes to taking what I want
[?] a minute 'til we were there in the dark
And my voice shakes with the S on the tongue
But my heart won't take what it wants
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna love you
The way that I'm wantin' to
'Cause you're making me face all these things inside
That I don't wanna face
And I don't wanna need you
The way that you're needin' me to
So we just go 'round and 'round
'Til one of us says we're through
[Post-Chorus]
But there's a thread that just keeps pulling me back to you
[Verse 2]
