He throws the bait
She knows he's never gonna get past these games
But still she plays along with every justification
For why nothing changes and
For why she can't bring herself to leave
She'll be close to the edge
He'll be pushing again
Keeps her constantly hanging by a thread
But before it can break he'll be back for the save
Leaving just enough slack in the tether head back up together again
She's all sewn up with promises he swore that he wouldn't make
He won't take long to start equating boring with stable
And pull at the reigns again
So why can't he bring himself to leave
She'll be close to the edge
He'll be pushing again
Keeps her constantly hanging by a thread
But before it can break he'll be back for the save
Leaving just enough slack in the tether head back up together again
And if things start to go to well
He'll just trip the mines he planted for himself
And she's afraid to peel the skin of the rotten fruit within
He'll shine up the surface and then, it's just like new again
But before it can break he'll be back for the save
Leaving just enough slack in the tether head back up together again
