I stand here shaking in the cold
This threadbare coat won't keep me warm
My feeble patchwork just can't hold
Against the bite of this frigid storm
I lock the cold outside my door
Shut out the world and hide myself away
I follow tears down to the floor
I'm lying here alone and so afraid

Thread by thread i come undone
From a heart that has become
Tattered and torn, misused and worn
Thread by thread

When will i let these pieces go
And trust a heart greater than mine?
To take the risk and bare my soul
And leave this vain and foolish pride behind?

Thread by thread i come undone
From a heart that has become
Tattered and torn, misused and worn
Thread by thread you make me new
From the heart that beats in you
Woven and spun, grace is begun
Thread by thread

I will stop trying to hold myself together
Whatever the cost, whatever is lost
I surrender
