Shattered Threads

Yeah

Cold rooms

and old messages

(mmm-hmm) I watched the embers fade to grey inside the fireplace Trying

to scrub the memory of your dynamic face You left your keys

upon the counter by the sliding door And now I'm tracing every

crack across the kitchen floor We built a kingdom out of promises

and paper sheets Now I'm just wandering alone along these quiet streets

(yeah) Oh, we patch the cracks but we can't stop the leak

Two broken hearts and the words we couldn't speak

We held on tight but the thread was always thin

Where does the end of us begin?

(where does it start?)

I check my call log just to see if you might dial

in

Knowing damn well that we're both hiding the pain within My chest

is heavy like a stone under a frozen lake How many promises

can one fragile spirit break?

I keep the pictures in a drawer where they can't hurt my

eyes But I still hear the quiet truth behind your sweet goodbyes (ahhh)

Oh,

we patch the cracks but we can't stop the leak

Two broken hearts and the words we couldn't speak

We held on tight but the thread was always thin

Where does the end of us begin?

(where does it start?)

Just a thread (just a thread) Now it's gone
