Unravelled Lyrics

For a while there it seemed

I had nearly become a thing of beauty

Now a simple snag

Is revealing all the flaws and stitches

I'm wearing thin

Very soon I will not be much protection

You had better try

Try to find another comforter

As if you didn't know

That I'm coming unravelled

Losing track of what has kept us warm

And I'm fading

Fading into gray

It's enough just to see you

Remembering that I once could hold you near

And provide you with sympathy and love

But ruthless Time has betrayed me

And he isn't the only one

For I'm betraying myself

Just like I'm betraying you again

As if you didn't know

That I'm coming unravelled

Losing track of what has kept us warm

And I'm fading

Fading into gray

I'm afraid it's time to go

I'm afraid to let you

Let you go from the garden

Out to that shiny world

But I don't know how to keep you

All these threads are clear as day

But for a while there it seemed

I had really become a thing of beauty

Just a simple snag

And if I could just stop pulling

I might knit myself together

You might stay another hour

You might stay another day

But I'm coming unravelled

Losing track of what has kept us warm

And you're trying so hard to look surprised

That I'm coming unravelled

Losing track of what has kept us warm

And I'm fading

Fading into gray

I'm afraid it's time to go

I'm afraid it's time to go

I'm afraid it's time to go

I'm afraid to let you

Go

Go

Go
