Standing at the Threshold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You and me created something special
You and me, always standing at the threshold
Forgive me, I've created a monster
The police said that they cannot help your daughter

[Chorus]
Sometimes it takes a tough man to hide
Sing it soft, just like the lullaby
I'll fall apart from the inside out
And die

[Verse 2]
Kept my faith from the day that you left
With a big old hallelujah carved into my chest
You smothered me in images of death
Don't play around now, take my life instead

[Chorus]
Sometimes it takes a strong man to hide
Sing it soft, just like the lullaby
I'll fall apart from the inside out
And die

[Outro]
Oh, I don't doubt that everything is what you gave me
But I've gotta be frank, and baby
It just wasn't enough
Oh, I

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
