Lyrics
Thread Bare ©2009 By Bret Wilson It started with a little tear in some unseen place Worn down from years of use, never been replaced The fabric faded oh so slowly, I did not see Falling into a million pieces, how could it be? No longer shiny & new, wrinkled & faded, oh what to do? (CHORUS) Thread by thread, stitch by stitch, caught me unaware My life like my clothes, has become thread bare The weave has come undone, nothing left to spare My life like my clothes, has become thread bare Little by little, the threads they unwound Slowly come undone, falling all around Bit by bit, piece by piece, used beyond its means The fabric’s frayed edges, bursting at the seams No longer shiny & new, ripped & torn, oh what to do (CHORUS) (BRIDGE) Should have paid attention, should have seen the signs Should have seen the color fade, how could I be so blind Didn’t know that the threads would break, my ignorance I can’t deny Didn’t see until it was too late, tearing through the fabric, oh the fabric of my life (CHORUS)
