I washed the clothing that I wore

Some things you just don't ever throw away

Stitched up the holes that weren't there before

I snipped the threads

I scrubbed the stains

Yeah, I broke my man in two

I did things I didn't know I could do

I patched him up and myself, too

Cause there's a life we get back to

If I start to unravel and then I start to fray

I gotta keep it together or I won't be ok

Cause there are strings that bind us

And ones that tie down

It's as tiny as a needle in a stack of hay but bigger than a house

If I let it fray

There are days the house is hushed

I move around all the furniture

That's what I do when times are tough

It's a blessing

It's a curse

No matter what the hurting was

Ooh, it barely pierced the skin

Inside I fall apart at the seams

Cause there's a life I want back in

Then I start to unravel and then I start to fray

I gotta keep it together in my own little way

Cause there are strings that bind us

And ones that tie us down

It's as tiny as a needle in a stack of hay but bigger than a house

If I let it fray

I wash the clothing that I wore

Some things I just can't ever throw away

Stitched up the holes that weren't there before

I snipped the threads

I scrubbed the stains

Then we start to unravel and then we start to pray

We gotta keep it together in our own little way

Cause there are things that bond us

And ones that tear us down

It's as tiny as a needle in a stack of hay but bigger than a house

If I let it fray

If I let it fray

If I let it fray
