Little Red Thread

Your name is still the first thing in my mouth
But it’s lost that touch of grace
I tried to save you gave you everything
But I was someone you replaced
And now he’s in my head
Closer to the heart
Leave your name unsaid
It’s best we stay apart
But if I can’t say a word
If I am never heard
If he leaves before I’ve tried
Then there’s no point this goodbye
If words are left unsaid
If they stay inside my head
If he’s gone and I was wrong
Then why is there a little red thread
Imagination’s taking over me
But he’s someone I don’t know
Handsome and kind he’s too good to be true
But I may not ever know
And now he’s in my head
Closer to the heart
Words I’ve never said
Are tearing me apart
But if I can’t say a word
If I am never heard
If he leaves before I’ve tried
Then there’s no point this goodbye
If words are left unsaid
If they stay inside my head
If he’s gone and I was wrong
Then why is there a little red thread
A string of fate and lady’s luck
Are somewhere barely out of touch
A new idea without a chance
Will only lend a lonely dance
If I can’t say a word
If I am never heard
If he leaves before I’ve tried
Then there’s no point this goodbye
If words are left unsaid
If they stay inside my head
If he’s gone and I was wrong
Then why is there a little red thread
