Hanging By a Thread lyrics

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
