[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Now my heart is hanging by a thread
Now my heart is hanging by a thread

[Verse 2]
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 whеn your brain's gone to your head

[Chorus]
Now my heart is hanging by a thrеad
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

[Interlude]
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
[Spoken Word: Maestro Harrell]
You gon' help, huh?
You gon' look out for me?
You gon' look out for me?
You promise?
You got my back, huh?
