Melissa Oneil - String Me Along lyrics

I took my chances

I knew that you were trouble

But you're like a magnet

When you get closer, you pull me on

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

I'm better off, on my own

Then you kick and you scream and you break me

I'm thinking 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 trying to stake my claim with you

I'm so tired of holding on

When you string me along

I might get stuck in

This tangled web you're weaving

I'm like your puppet

But you're strangling my breathing

You said be patient with me

To be honest, I can't hang

Today these chains don't fit me and

I'm not gonna play in your game

Could it be that

I'm better off, on my own

But you kick and you scream and you break me

I'm thinking 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 trying to break away from you

I'm so tired of holding on

When you string me along

A broken heart, a broken promise

That's all you leave behind for me

Looking 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, no

You kick and scream and you push and you pull

And you string me along

Could it be that

I'm better off on my own

Then you kick and you scream and you break me

I'm thinking 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 trying to stake my claim with you

I'm so tired of holding on

When you string me along
