hang by a thread

Alter Bridge

There is nothing left, I m giving in
I can t win, I can t win
I ve been wasting time, I won t pretend
No, not again, never again

I was fooled, how could I know
that this was doomed to fall apart?
But the truth is hard to hold
when time reveals a dark and heavy heart
A dark and heavy heart

I can bear the weight of this no more
I can t ignore the spite and scorn
And these bloodshot eyes are battle worn
Goddamn this war, can t take much more

But my dignity and pride
are like a shield to this abuse
In the end I will survive, I ve seen the darkest days
But now I m free to choose
A life away from you

And though I hang by a thread
You ll never keep a good man down
And though you pushed to the end
It s time for me to stand my ground

Once you re betrayed, you never trust
And when it s from the ones you love
Nothing s the same, not as it was
Never as it was

There is nothing left, I m giving in
I can t win, I can t win

And though I hang by a thread
You ll never keep a good man down
And though you pushed to the end
It s time for me to stand my ground
My better angels defend
My dignity at least for now
You ll never hurt me again
No, you won t keep this good man down
No, you won t keep this good man down
