Better late than never, so I'll spend some time away Circling the drain of every possibility Standing in the corner with the things I never said Not a lot of reason when your brain's gone to your head Now my heart is hanging by a thread Now my heart is hanging by a thread Better late than never, so I'll spend some time away Twenty-four hours ain't the day it used to be Standing in the corner with the things I never said Not a lot of reason when your brain's gone to your head Now my heart is hanging by a thread Now my heart is hanging by a thread Now my heart is hanging by a thread (Again) You move and I swing, you move and I swing And now my heart is hanging by a thread Now my heart is hanging by a thread And while I'm swinging from your arm Mistaken for your shadow We're standing in a line to disappear It's unfair, unfair, unfair — You gonna help, huh? You gonna look out for me? You gonna look out for me? You promise? You got my back, huh?
