Hanging On A String

I dug up a song I wrote over a year ago and started revising it. This is what I came up with.

The lyrics:

I read back what I wrote about you the other night
Desperation for liberation
You told me you would set me free
I thought about what you said to me the other night
You fed me everything I needed
But you never truly believed

I gave you all I had but
You're such and insatiable little thing
And the worst part of it all...

If you called me up and said she was not the one
And you missed the way I said your name
I would let you come home to me
You've got me hanging on a string
I think you like it that way
Yeah, I think you like it that way

You were gone before I could put your picture in the frame
But that made it sting me even more
You could have warned me that you would leave
I think you like me as your safety
As a fall back, 'cause I was pretty good to you
But where the hell were you for me?

You'll say you keep the distance, but
I don't think you want me to go just yet
And the worst part of it all...

If you called me up and said she was not the one
And you missed the way I said your name
I would let you come home to me
You've got me hanging on a string
I think you like it that way
Yeah, I think you like it...

It's in my eyes, but you can't see me
You're just content with moving things along
I've got to cut myself down and take the fall
I've got to move on, but this string is too strong

I found you down on my doorstep the other night
You almost cried, you weren't satisfied
But you smiled for me anyway
We roamed the streets together the other night
And I think that you finally realized
What you could have had with me today

I gave you all I had, but
I guess I could give you a little more
If you tell me what you want...
