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
