Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running me in circles
I don’t wanna hurt you
It’s becoming fatal
Patience is a virtue
I don’t wanna hurt you
Stop
Thinking that i still wish you bad
That energy it wasn’t for me
Wasn’t benefiting me
I just needed room to breathe
Tell me why you cannot do that
Gimme room i need my space back
I can’t chase you i only chase racks
Tried to do you good but you did me bad
Circles
Running me in circles
I don’t wanna hurt you
It’s becoming fatal
Patience is a virtue
I don’t wanna hurt you
No hard feelings
Yea you did what you did
Had me all up in my head
Choosing myself now instead
All up on my line
Why you keep calling me
Realest one you had
Had you hooked like a feign yea
Stop
Thinking that i still wish you bad
But trust me i do not want you back
That energy it wasn’t for me
Wasn’t benefiting me
I just needed room to breathe
Tell me why you cannot do that
Gimme room i need my space back
I can’t chase you i only chase racks
Tried to do you good but you did me bad

The line "Patience is a virtue" suggests that healing takes time and that the artist needs to take things slow in order to fully move on from the relationship.
