Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you know it feels good
Burning through my skin, I'm not a fool
God only knows what else I can do
But I keep running back to you
Every breath I take of you I'm caving in
Stresses me to think what I could have been
Round and round we go
Out of control
I wish I could let it go
Never meant to make you feel this blue
Another round I swear I'll make it through
God only knows what else I can do
But I keep running back to you
Every breath I take of you I'm caving in
Stresses me to think what I could have been
Round and round we go
The fire fills my soul
Out of control
I wish I could let it go

You hate to see me crying
You dislike witnessing my tears
But you know it feels good
Yet you are aware that it brings satisfaction
Burning through my skin, I'm not a fool
The intense emotions pierce my being, but I am not ignorant
God only knows what else I can do
Only a divine entity comprehends my untapped potential
But I keep running back to you
Nevertheless, I continuously return to your presence
Every breath I take of you I'm caving in
With each inhalation of your essence, I succumb
Stresses me to think what I could have been
Contemplating the possibilities torments me
Round and round we go
We engage in a never-ending cycle
The fire fills my soul
Passion consumes my very core
Out of control
Now devoid of restraint
I wish I could let it go
I yearn to release it
Never meant to make you feel this blue
I never intended to cause you such sadness
Another round I swear I'll make it through
I promise to endure another cycle
God only knows what else I can do
Only a divine entity comprehends my untapped potential
But I keep running back to you
Nevertheless, I continuously return to your presence
Every breath I take of you I'm caving in
With each inhalation of your essence, I succumb
Stresses me to think what I could have been
Contemplating the possibilities torments me
Round and round we go
We engage in a never-ending cycle
The fire fills my soul
Passion consumes my very core
Out of control
Now devoid of restraint
I wish I could let it go
I yearn to release it
