She's barely getting by but she's determined to hang in there!!!
Story behind the song
I understand that feeling of being near the edge--and I like to encourage people to keep trying, no matter what!!!
Lyrics
Holding On By A Thread
The rent is due
Not to mention the phone bill, too
Your car was taken many days ago
Your life’s a mess
Your flat screen’s been repossessed
And what will happen next
You don’t want to know
Holding on by a thread
All your dreams
They’re either dying or dead
Dying or dead
Your job went south
You’re living hand-to-mouth
You look for work
But you know it’s not that easy to find
But you’re not weak
You got yourself a stubborn streak
You’ll pull yourself together
And survive
Holding on by a thread
All your dreams, they’re either dying or dead
Dying or dead
The rent is due
Not to mention the phone bill, too
Your car was taken many days ago
Your life’s a mess
Your flat screen’s been repossessed
And what will happen next
You don’t want to know
Holding on by a thread
But you’ll go on
And make a comeback instead
A comeback instead
