Talking In Circles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Three years deep, I believed you Built a home in the words you chose Said your mama was just temporary Said the dark part was long ago You wore truth like a borrowed jacket Fit it on just right for me Now the seams are split wide open And I see what you let me see [Pre-Chorus] Every story got a new ending Every promise had a hidden door When I asked for something solid You spun me round and wanted more [Chorus] Talking in circles Talking in circles You kept me chasing Kept me waiting Future faking Future faking Now I’m awake and I’m not breaking [Verse 2] You said pills were in the rearview But the rearview never stayed I watched your eyes go glass and drifting Every time the bill came due to pay And that mom-house line you fed me Had your life still tied in knots Enmeshment, lies, and pretty speeches Just to cover what you are not [Pre-Chorus] Every answer came with damage Every goodbye became a stall I was reaching for a real thing You were building nothing at all [Chorus] Talking in circles Talking in circles You kept me chasing Kept me waiting Future faking Future faking Now I’m awake and I’m not breaking [Bridge] I thought I was losing my mind But the truth was in the pattern You don’t move, you just rewind Then act surprised when I see through the chatter No more circles No more circles I’m stepping out now I’m not coming back [Final Chorus] Talking in circles Talking in circles You kept me chasing Kept me waiting Future faking Future faking Now I’m awake and I’m not breaking Talking in circles Talking in circles I found my name now I’m taking it back
