Keane - Thread Lyrics






Hanging by a thread connecting me to you
To who I've always been
To all we said we'd do

A fine thread, not tough enough to bear
The weight of desire and despair
Untended, the fibers start to fray
The long years of working as one
Were just washed away

Well maybe it was just our time
Forgive me, remember that I'm
A good man, just not good enough
Don't hate me, I was just in love
And hanging by a thread

Hold me in your arms
Where everything made sense
Where I knew right from wrong
Could live with restlessness
All my life I won't forget the pain in your eyes
I'm still scrubbing at the stain of this mess
Wish you could understand
The madness that grabbed at my throat
And clung to my hands

Well maybe it was just our time
Forgive me, remember that I'm
A good man, just not good enough
Don't hate me, I was just in love
And caught in my own net

Hanging, left spinning in the wind
Sliding, you grab at anything
Just lost our way, we just lost our way
You try to be all things to all men
And wind up with a love that's spread too thin
Just lost our way
The walls that we built were just washed away

Well maybe it was just our time
Forgive me, remember that I'm
A good man, just not good enough
Don't hate me, I was just in love
And hanging by a thread

I don't know why I said
I'm not in love with you

    "All my life I won't forget the pain in your eyes" It has so much meaning!

  2. J.... Q....

    4:30 😢.

  3. M.... C....

    Thank you to come to Paraguay. Come again we love you and you could see that 😘😘😘

  4. V.... Z....

    Since I was 13 years old I've been listening to Keane songs. Now I'm 20, I'm in college and I still love listening their songs while I'm studying, just like when I was 13...

  5. M.... C....

    I can believe it. I know you since 2003 at the time I was 11 xD

  6. M.... C....

    Love that

  7. D.... M....

    Somebody tell my why the fuck this song only has 150 810 views!!
    I just can't understand how underrated this band is, Tom's voice is considered one of the best voices ever, and yet, a lot of people still don't know him T.T that just makes me feel like crying

  8. N.... S....

    "Remember that I'm a good man, just not good enough... don't hate me, I was just in love. And hanging by a thread..." Dying here...😭

  9. a.... ....

    This is my favorite on the new album

  10. C.... P....

    No.....Sorry, still can't listen to this without spilling tears ....

  11. E.... J....

    😭💔💔💔

  12. T.... O....

    Esse álbum me faz tão bem. Gratidão, #Keane 🤗💖

  13. D.... M....

    Best song in the album, in my opinion. I've loved this band since I was 14. Now I'm almost 30 and I know I'll always love these guys :)

  14. a.... h....

    Keane encapsulating difficult experiences so beautifully

  15. A.... H....

    por fin este año los vere en vivo <3 despues de muchos años , estoy muy feliz (lloro en silencio) XD

  16. c.... ....

    Very good song. Nice beautiful melody.

  17. W.... ....

    Vai tomar no meu cu, que letra mais desgraçada da porra... Keane como sempre me destruindo!

  18. S.... L....

    One of the best song of the album for sure, maybe my favorite. I love the mellotron :).

  19. K.... G....

    It's just what I'm living, maybe our time has passed and it hurt to see that suffering in your eyes, but I can't console you because you don't want me near you
    and KEANE seems to have made this song thinking about my relationship. Maybe I should mature and accept it, I hold on to what I feel for you and I met you and I know you love me, but that it hurts
    Your heart and I feel idiotic.

    I can't stop thinking about you and this song is part of this separation.

  20. J.... A....

    Cómo la recuerdo con este poema de canción. No me queda más que agradecerles, Keane, por hacer música que me comprende... Los adoro, son la mejor banda del presente...

  21. K.... A....

    I couldn't have asked for anything better in music than to have another Keane album...and this one is so much more than what I even expected..its simply fabulous! The lyrics, the music, the soul of each song, the feeling that each song seems to relate to something that most of us have experienced in some way or other..I love your music Keane! and cannot wait to see you live in Seattle!!

  22. I.... D....

    They're gonna perform in Toronto on March 23rd at Danforth Music Hall! Cannot wait..

  23. A.... C....

    For me, the best song from the album 😢

  24. A.... V....

    Reminds me of a juxtopostion to "She has no time". Remember 3 members of this band have known each other since childhood. That said, Tim is the one hurting this time and it weighs so heavy in these lyrics.

  25. b.... B....

    espro que ya sea 22 para ver al grupo de mi vida KEANE, SALUDOS desde Arequipa...

  26. R.... S....

    Just lost our way 💕

  27. A.... P....

    enamorada del nuevo álbum! 😊❤

  28. E.... D....

    merci pour ce superbe album

  29. l.... ....

    What is sad about this song is that Keane stated that this album was a mix of experiences of their breakup after Strangeland. This song is basically about Tim's marriage falling apart.

  30. H.... d....

    Que linda melodía!

  31. M.... B....

    A fucking masterpiece

  32. L.... L....

    Keane continúen juntos por favor
    Ya los extrañaba chicos , esa voz tiene poderes curativos para el corazón, para el alma, para la mente

  33. M.... E....

    Heavy stuff. Bloody heartbreaking.

  34. M.... A....

    Sin palabras.....emociones a flor de piel😍😍😍😍

  35. J.... S....

    I'm going to cry 😭😭😭 I love you for this Keane

  36. P.... T....

    Can’t stop listening to this song. Wish you guys’d come to Australia soon!

  37. D.... S....

    Música linda que acalma o coração. Obrigada Keane. Amo vocês.

  38. H.... K....

    Oh boy it made me 😢

  39. f.... r....

    Menudo grupazo, esta canción es una de las top.

  40. a.... ....

    Este grupo es de esos que MERECEN todo lo bueno del mundo! GRACIAS Tom Chaplin, GRACIAS Keane!

  41. B.... ....

    Gracias por servir de banda sonora de mi vida ...

  55. r.... ....

    Stunning! Thank you!

  56. L.... R....

    This song is so beautiful, I can´t comprehend and explain it. I´m a huge Keane fan so I can´t say this is the best for them ... but it is certainly at the top of their game and could very well become the best for me with time. Some great songs grow even more, you have to listen, wait, live ...

  57. F.... S....

    "I don't know why I said
    I'm not in love with you"
    But you said it...💔😢

  81. N.... V....

    This new album is filled with great songs. I love the gentleness of this song... and those beautiful elegant string sounds! I'm enjoying these songs as much as I enjoyed songs from Hope and Fears, and Under the Iron Sea - the two albums that made me love Keane.

  82. N.... ....

    First Listen - don't like it. 2/10
