In Circles
Crash Coordinates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1
I don't know what to think
They say you get around
It keeps playing in my head
I need to tune it out
Your looks were disguised
With bad intentions
A beautiful lie
I can't forget cause

Chorus
I keep running in circles
I can't take this anymore, won't take this anymore
I keep waiting for nothing
I can't take this anymore, won't take this anymore

Verse
I should have read the signs
You were so easy
And all my friends tried to say
How you deceived me
Your words were concealed
With all the right hooks
Now I'm trying to forget
All of your fake looks

Chorus
Because I keep running in circles
I can't take this anymore, won't take this anymore
I keep waiting for nothing
I can't take this anymore, won't take this anymore
I keep running in circles
I'm never gonna do it again, I'll never do it again




I keep waiting for nothing
I'm never gonna do it again, I'll never do it again
