My past has followed me in
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
(Pull me into your arms)
I'm hanging on
To every word
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
I'm trying so hard to change
Help me work through my flaws
(Take me just as I am)
I'm calling out
(Pull me into your arms)
And 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'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
Save me from losing myself
I'm afraid to fall
So I'm holding on to you
No, I won't let go
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'm hanging on by a thread
I still can hardly believe
The person I once was
I'm trying so hard to change
Help me work through my flaws
(Take me just as I am)
I'm calling out
(Pull me into your arms)
And 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'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
Save me from losing myself
I'm afraid to fall
So I'm holding on to you
No, I won't let go
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
