(I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--
I keep on loopin')
(I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--
I keep on loopin')

So I did it
I let you go
Never thought I'd be alone
But it doesn't feel so bad yet

Wasn't in it
It wasn't right
But you still weigh on my mind
And I'm makin' it a habit

Reachin' up to you
Actin' like a fool
Oh oh
Wish I coulda knew
Everything I did
'Cause I'm reliving it
Reliving it

You keep movin' forward
And I keep on loopin'
Tellin' you we're over
But what was I doin'?
Those words that I said to you then
Can't get them outta my head
You keep movin' forward
And I keep on loop--
And I keep on loop--
And I keep on loopin'
(I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--
I keep on loopin')
(I keep on loop--

(I keep on loop--
I keep on loop--

It's been a minute
But I'm sure
You don't want me anymore
And it's feeling kinda tragic

We hit the limit
Went back and forth
Now you're all I'm askin' for
And I'm never gettin' past this

Reachin' up to you
Actin' like a fool
Oh oh
Wish I coulda knew
Everything I did
'Cause I'm reliving it
Reliving it

You keep movin' forward
And I keep on loopin'
Tellin' you we're over

Those words that I said to you then
Can't get them outta my head

Tell me what it's gonna take
'Cause I can't look away
All eyes on you
Can't cut you loose
What can I do?

Every time I hesitate
You runnin' through my brain
All eyes on you
Can't cut you loose
What can I do?

🎶 Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
So I did it, I let you go
Never thought I'd be alone
But it doesn't feel so bad yet
Wasn't in it, it wasn't right
But you still weigh on mind
And I'm making it a habit

[Pre-Chorus]
Reaching out to you
Acting like a fool, oh
Wish I could undo
Everything I did
'Cause I'm reliving it, reliving it

[Chorus]
You keep moving forward and I keep on looping
Telling you we're over, but what was I doing?
Those words that I said to you then
Can't get them out of my head
You keep moving forward and I keep on loop
And I keep on loop
And I keep on looping

[Verse 2]
It's been a minute but I'm sure
You don't want me anymore
And it's feeling kinda tragic
We hit the limit, went back and forth
Now you're all I'm asking for
And I'm never getting past this

[Pre-Chorus]
Reaching out to you
Acting like a fool, oh
Wish I could undo
Everything I did
'Cause I'm reliving it, reliving it

[Chorus]
You keep moving forward and I keep on looping
Telling you we're over, but what was I doing?
Those words that I said to you then
Can't get them out of my head
You keep moving forward and I keep on loop
And I keep on loop
And I keep on looping

[Bridge]
Tell me what it's gonna take
Cause I can't look away
All eyes on you, can't cut you loose
What can I do?
Every time I hesitate
You're running through my brain
All eyes on you, can't cut you loose
What can I do?
