World On A String Lyrics

I think that this song tries to say that nothing matters except for the way that you feel about yourself. Even if you had the world on a string, it doesn't even matter unless you are happy on the inside. It doesn't mean a thing unless that special person that you want to be yours doesn't really want to be yours. This is what I find to be wrong with myself. I can be so unhappy even though I have every advantage in the world on my side. Something so miniscule as a meaningless girl in my life can make me so unhappy.
