Goes round in circulation
Will I grow too cold to know
Words they don't seem to reveal
When I refuse to show...
Holding back temptation
Hoping for salvation
Is is just a passing phase
Words they don't seem to reveal
All these time, am I to blame
Holding back temptation
Hoping for salvation
It's just the same old game again...
Over and over, over and over again...
Hopeless situation
