Lyric

"The red thread is thin and so fragile, you know

It’ll break in a second, it’s ready to go"

That’s what you said with those eyes wet with tears

But I laughed it away, and I ignored your fears

I thought you were being dramatic and grand

As if I didn't hold your whole world in my hand

I really loved you, I know that it’s true

And I’m sure that you felt the same way for me too

Even when we were apart, far out of sight

We could have checked in, we could have made it right

There were a thousand ways to bridge the divide

But I just let the silence drift with the tide

Before I realized, you were starting to fade

Lost in the shadows of the choices I made

Your heart became distant, a land out of reach

Like a message that’s washed away on a beach

The secrets you carried as you walked away

No one will know them, not even today

I really loved you, I know that it’s true

And I’m sure that you felt the same way for me too

The difficulty of trust, the weight of a vow

I never thought about it then, but I see it now

Believing in someone is a hard thing to do

I didn't know the mountain I had to climb through

I really loved you, I know that it’s true

And I’m sure that you felt the same way for me too

To understand each other when we’re not side by side

We could have done anything, we shouldn't have lied

We could have done anything

To keep that thread from breaking

But now it’s gone

And I’m still here

Holding onto the broken ends
