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 scream and you break me   I’m thinking its 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’ve weavin’    I’m like your puppet   Bt you’ve 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 gonna 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 thinking its time that I’m gone   But you push and you pull and you string me along   You keep on playin’ 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 heat, a broken promise   That’s all you leave behind for me    Looking up to you I lost focus   Now ill bring it back 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    So you kick and you scream and you push and you   Pull and you string me along (could it be that)      Chorus
