So here you are
Walking away from your life
Yu tell me that you’re different inside
The same old words
You used last time
You’ll turn your back
ON everything that you ever knew
And everyone that cares for you
To find yourself
It’s nothing new

Can’t you see that you’re running in circles
Open up and then you move away
And you say that you want to be loved for who you are
Who are you anyway

So here it goes
For a little while you’ll be at peace
And you’ll think you’ve finally found what you need
To fill your heart
And ease your mind
But give it time
There’s a pattern inside of your past
That nothing you find ever lasts
And you’ll be back
Where you began

Can’t you see that you’re running in circles
Open up and then you move away
And you say that you want to be loved for who you are
Who are you anyway

There’s a hole so deep
That can’t be filled with something so cheap
Like a lover or a bottle or a new philosophy
But you’ve got to lay them down to feel the love that can set you free
There’s a love that can set you free

Can’t you see that you’re running in circles
Open up and then you move away
You say you want to be loved for who you are
Who are you anyway
How long can you live this way
