I bet you're sitting, sipping single-barrel bourbon on ice

I'm wandering 'round the house, just wondering if you'll miss me tonight

But you won't, baby

I'm in the kitchen cooking supper, but I'm cooking for one

Fixed you a plate, yeah, just in case your rambling days are done

It's driving me crazy

'Cause I should be at the end of my rope

But I just can't let go

When you said forever, I took it to heart

You wove all your words like a true work of art

You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch

I think I could fix us if you'd just come back

And make something beautiful out of the little that's left

'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread

I saw your mama, and she told me that you asked about me

Hate to admit it, but it's all I've thought about for weeks

So here I sit right by this phone

'Cause you never said how long you'd be gone

When you said forever, I took it to heart

You wove all your words like a true work of art

You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch

I think I could fix us if you'd just come back

And make something beautiful out of the little that's left

'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread

Every thread, every kiss, every touch, every word that you said

When you said forever, I took it to heart

You wove all your words like a true work of art

You tried to unravel, and I tried to patch

And I think I could fix us if you'd just come back

And make something beautiful out of the little that's left

'Cause I'm still hanging on by a thread

Oh, I'm still hanging on by a thread, hmm
