By a Thread
by a thread lead me on
kept me hanging on
by the skin of my teeth
hopelessly waiting for something
that would never come
to fruition
time and time again
over and over again
i fell for your false promise
for renewed reconciliation
each and ever single time
year after year
praying that this time
you would stay with me forever more
but alas you always seemed to leave
me out in the cold
