String Me Along

I took my chances

I knew that you were trouble

But you're like a magnet

When you get closer, you pull me onnn

You said, we'll never go wrong

A promise you can't keep

Today, my memory's so long

Long gone (could it be that)

[Chorus:]

I'm better off, on my own

Then you kick and you screa and you break me

I'm thinkin' it's time that I'm gone

Then you push and you pull and you string me along

You play these waiting games

But I'm finally tryin' to stake my claim with you

I'm so tired of holdin' on

When you string me along

I might get stuck in

This tangled web you're weavin'

I'm like your puppet

But you're strangling' my breathin'

You said be patient with me

To be honest, I can't hang

Today these chains don't fit me and

I'm not gunna play in your game (could it be that)

[Chorus 2:]

I'm better off, on my own

But you kick and you scream, and you break me

I'm thinkin' it's time that I'm gone

But you push and you pull and you string me along

You keep on playing games

But I'm finally tryin' to break away from you

I'm so tired of holdin' on

When you string me along

A broken heart, a broken promise

That's all you leave behind for me

Lookin' up to you I lost focus

Now I'll bring it back to where it used to be

You make it so hard to do it

And I know you don't want me to leave, Oh-no-no

Nooo..so you kick and scream and you push and you

Pull, and you string me along

[Chorus:]

I'm better off, on my own

Then you kick and you screa and you break me

I'm thinkin' it's time that I'm gone

Then you push and you pull and you string me along

You play these waiting games

But I'm finally tryin' to stake my claim with you

I'm so tired of holdin' on

When you string me along
