If I gave you every inch of me
Could you show me how?
If I learned to be more brave
Could you show me how?
I take a deep breath
Straighten up my back
Stand tall and walk along

He said you could do anything
But anything is nothing when you need a bit of helping out
You could go anywhere but anywhere is nowhere
But when emptiness is where you stand

Holdin', holdin', holdin'
The threads of silence
Holdin', holdin', holdin'
The threads of silence
That lead me to your door

If I had every book in the world
Would you still show me how?
If I was not who I am now
Would you still see me now?
I take a deep breath
Straighten up my back
Stand tall and walk along

He said you could do anything
But anything is nothing when you need a bit of helping out
You could go anywhere but anywhere is nowhere
But when emptiness is where you stand

Holdin', holdin', holdin'
The threads of silence
Holdin', holdin', holdin'
The threads of silence
That lead me to your door

Holdin', holdin', holdin'
The threads of silence
Holdin', holdin', holdin'
The threads of silence
That lead me to your door
That lead me to your door
That lead me to your door
