Faded Threads

(hummmmm) High all day, drinking away,

waiting for it all to end.

Skin left in scars,

smile long gone,

when will God let me in.

The damage is done,

what a waste of time.

What is the point of life.

I lost myself somewhere along the way,

just trying to make it

through another day.

I stopped looking for a reason,

stopped believing I could change,

every morning felt the same,

every night I felt the weight.

Then you came into my life,

when I had nothing left to say.

You didn't try to fix me,

you just stayed.

Then I met you,

my sweet sweet girl,

fighting just as hard as me.

By my side, all the time,

opening up and wiping tears on your sleeve.

We scream sad songs,

I hold your hand,

thinking I might just escape my head.

And when I don't know

where to go

you remind me

I'm not alone

You had your own scars,

your own battles not shown.

But somehow when I'm falling,

you always seem to know.

We talk until the morning,

about the things we never say.

Two broken hearts still beating,

trying to find a way.

And maybe we're not perfect,

maybe we're both still lost,

but you make the weight feel lighter,

no matter what it costs.

If the whole world turns against you,

I'll be standing where you stand.

If you start to lose yourself,

I'll reach out and take your hand.

'Cause you've been there when I'm hurting,

you've seen the worst of me.

And somehow through the darkness,

you still choose to stay with me.

Then I met you,

my sweet sweet girl,

fighting just as hard as me.

By my side, all the time,

opening up and wiping tears on your sleeve.

We scream sad songs,

I hold your hand,

and for a moment I can breathe.

Maybe I don't need all the answers,

maybe I just need you with me.

The damage is done,

but maybe that's alright.

I don't have to have it figured out

tonight.

My best friend,

i love you

And if you're still beside me,

i'll hold onto you
