Every now and then
I go back again
Unpacking the boxes in the closet
Should've thrown them out
But I couldn't then
And I wouldn't now
Must be something in the scraps of us
To wrap my head around
Was a part of a pattern,
needle and thread A step on your ladder,
a notch on your bed
You said forever,
sewed us together Then you just left,
tore me to shreds
I was a lover,
now I'm a ghost A detail you'd only see if you looked close enough
That's all I was
But hey, I still loved you
For what it's worth,
I loved you And I'll never know what it all meant to you
But at least I could be of some use As someone to love you
Cause really I loved you And maybe it's for that I'm only a thread
Stitching you up for the next
one
For the next one, for the next one
Maybe that's the point
To love without return
To love just for the moment Even
if it isn't very long
To finally
stitch it up To put the past in past tense
Even if it all sounds wrong I'll try to forgive
You left me in tatters,
that's how you left
Reaching for something, just to go running
When it gets real,
when you start to feel And now you're happy,
and now I'm not
But hey,
I still loved you For what it's worth,
I loved you
And I'll never know what it all meant to
you But at least I could be of some use
As someone to love you Cause really I loved you
And maybe it's for that I'm only a thread
Stitching you up for the next one
