Melissa O'Neil Lyrics
"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 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?

(Chorus)

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 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 stranglin' 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 going to play in your game,

Could it be that?

(Chorus)

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 holdin' on,
When you string me along,

A broken heart, a broken promise,
That's all you'll leave behind for me,
Lookin' up to you I lost focus,
Now I'll bring it back where it used to be,
You make it so hard to do,
And I know you don't want me to leave, (Oh no no no)
So you kick and scream and you push,
And you pull and you string me along,

Could it be that?

(Chorus)

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 keep on playing games,
But I'm finally tryin' to breakaway from you,
I'm so tired of holdin' on,
When you string me along,
