Every now and then, I go back again Unpacking the boxes in the closet, should've thrown 'em 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 only see if you look close enough It'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 Just someone to love you 'Cause really, I loved you And maybe it's fine that I'm only a thread Stitching you up for the next one For the next one For, for, for, for, for, for the next one For the next one For, for, for, for, for, 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 And maybe it's okay to finally stitch it up To put the past in past tense even if it all sounds wrong I try to forgive, you left me in tatters That's how you live, reaching for something You still go running when it gets real When you start to feel And now you're happy and now I'm not Well, baby, I'm happy you're happy It's close enough It's close enough 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 Just someone to love you 'Cause really, I loved you And maybe it's fine that I'm only a thread Stitching you up for the next one For the next one For, for, for, for, for, for the next one For the next one For, for, for, for, for, for the next one I don't know, I don't know How the story goes All I know is I loved you I loved you I don't know, I don't know How the story goes All I know is I loved you I loved you
