Generate meaning
1
And through the grief and pain, I'm half insane
2
I give an inch you take a mile
3
You throw away the key, ignore my plea
4
You cut me down without a trial
5
(You keep me hanging by) hanging by a thread
6
(You keep me hanging by) leaving me for dead
7
(You keep me hanging by) I heard it when you said,
8
(You keep me hanging by) "Keep him hanging by a thread"
9
You throw a length of rope, I grab, you hope,
10
It's just enough to hang myself
11
I make a fatal slip, I lose my grip
12
There's no-one left to call for help
13
(You keep me hanging by) hanging by a thread
14
(You keep me hanging by) leaving me for dead
15
(You keep me hanging by) I'm not finished yet
16
(You keep me hanging by) I'm still hanging by a thread
17
I hear a final scream, another dream
18
I hear it then I start to go (hang him by a thread)
19
I recognise the pain, a time to play
20
Then stuck me to the afterglow (hang him by a thread)
21
Then I wake up wet, soaked in sweat
22
Tell you all you want to know (hang him by a thread)
