Circles

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been trying to hide the pain
Painting on a smile with lipstick
Putting on a big charade
So difficult to keep pretending
It's getting harder everyday
It's plain to see I'm cold and heartsick
Since you turned and walked away
And round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without out
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
(Running around in circles over you)
Saturday I saw you
Holding hands with someone new
Somehow I kept my composure
Just like everything was cool
But inside I kept repeating
Don't you let them see you cry
So I casually turned my head
As the tears rolled down my eyes
I just keep going round and round
And round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without out
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
(Running around in circles over you)
Everything is you
How can I pull through
My heart is consumed I'm so confused
Still caught up in you...love can be so cruel
Baby don't know how to turn you loose
Oh boy my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
No, nothing's the same
You got me running around
And running around
And running around
Nothing's the same
Baby baby cause you
Got me running around
In circles over you
(Running around in circles over you)
The song "Circles" by Mariah Carey is a heart-wrenching ballad about trying to cope with the pain of a breakup while pretending to be okay. The lyrics describe the singer's futile attempts to hide her heartache and put on a brave face, but ultimately, the sadness overcomes her and leaves her feeling lost and helpless. The chorus emphasizes the circular nature of her emotions, as she can't seem to escape the memories, regrets, and longing associated with her former partner. Despite seeing him with someone new, she can't let go of her love for him and feels consumed by her feelings.
The verses focus on the singer's attempts to remain composed despite her grief. She puts on a fake smile and acts as though everything is fine, but inside, she is in turmoil. The line "So difficult to keep pretending" underscores the struggle to maintain the facade of normalcy, as the pain of the breakup takes a toll on her emotional well-being. The scene where she sees her ex with someone new is particularly poignant, as she fights back tears and tries not to let on that she's falling apart inside.

Ever since you left me
My life has been completely different since you left me
I've been trying to hide the pain
I've been attempting to conceal the emotional pain that your departure has caused me
Painting on a smile with lipstick
I'm putting on a brave face, even though deep down inside, I'm hurting and miserable
Putting on a big charade
I'm pretending everything is okay, even though my world is falling apart
So difficult to keep pretending
It's getting harder and harder for me to keep up with this facade
It's getting harder everyday
Each day that passes is more challenging than the last
It's plain to see I'm cold and heartsick
It's evident that I'm struggling and heartbroken
Since you turned and walked away
Ever since the moment you left, things have gone downhill
I just keep going round and round
I feel like I'm stuck in a vicious cycle, unable to move on
And round in circles
I keep going through the same motions, never making any progress
Keep on tumbling down
My world continues to crumble around me
Oh boy my world has changed
My entire world has been turned upside down without you
And I don't think I can make it without out
I'm not sure if I can survive without you in my life
Nothing's the same
Everything is different now that you're gone
You got me running around in circles over you
I can't stop thinking about you, and it's causing me to feel trapped and stuck
Saturday I saw you
Last Saturday, I caught a glimpse of you
Holding hands with someone new
You were holding hands with another person
Somehow I kept my composure
I managed to keep it together and not let on how much this hurt me
Just like everything was cool
I tried to act like it was no big deal, as if I didn't care at all
But inside I kept repeating
Internally, I was telling myself repeatedly
Don't you let them see you cry
I was trying to maintain my composure and not show any vulnerability
So I casually turned my head
I acted nonchalant and looked away
As the tears rolled down my eyes
Even though I was crying inside, I didn't let anyone see it
Everything is you
You are all I can think about or focus on
How can I pull through
I'm struggling to keep going without you
My heart is consumed I'm so confused
My heart is completely consumed with thoughts of you, and I feel lost and confused
Still caught up in you...love can be so cruel
I'm still emotionally attached to you, and it's causing me a lot of pain
Baby don't know how to turn you loose
I don't know how to move on from you
And running around
I feel like I'm constantly on the move, but never getting anywhere
Baby baby cause you
It's all because of you
