You’ve got my world on a string, but the funny thing is:
The only thing hanging from that string is you
Well, I couldn’t care more and you couldn’t care less
You ran a river through my eyes
You gave me nothing and now its all I have left
I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough
I fell for too many of your promises
And even the empty ones you managed to break
You wouldn’t know honesty if it knocked at your door
Well, here I am…I knocked, let me in?
You gave me nothing and now its all I have left
I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough
I played the fool for you
You gave me nothing at all
I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough for you
But I’m not enough for you
The only thing hanging from that string is you
Well, I couldn’t care more and you couldn’t care less
You ran a river through my eyes
I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough
And even the empty ones you managed to break
You wouldn’t know honesty if it knocked at your door
Well, here I am…I knocked, let me in?
I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough
I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough for you
But I’m not enough for you

I love this song... it's just... Anyhow. I think this song is about someone cheating on someone. Or... breaking up, and the person being a total jerkface about it, and yeah...
This is a really great song but Im gonna have to disagree with what "our" said. I think this is a relationship between two people that do love eachother alot. Its just that the one person gives everything, and puts so much love and TRUE promises out there, they want to make it work and will do anything because of love itself but also because they really do deeply truly love this other person. And the second person loves just as much as the other person but continues to deny it to theirselves. They make promises they cant keep. They wrap you around their finger and you have nothing to show for it but a broken heart and alot of broken empty promises that were supposed to be fullfilled and were not. Its about love and how much it means to one person, to show it and speak it and feel it. Its about the heart ache you go thru when you love someone and are willing to give up everything for them, but they dont feel the same about you. Broken words and lost promises. And how you still keep giving all you got til you cant give any more. Its about how you end up feeling about yourself after all is said and done.. "I gave you all I could, but everything wasn’t enough for you, But I’m not enough for you".
Exactly.
