lyrics

I don’t mean to be diﬃcult but is it diﬃcult to understand?
Sometimes I just wanna leave
Find my way around the obstacles and drown my fear inside my ultimate truth
These scribbles of tired lines, this feeling I can’t deﬁne
You asked me why did I stay when all I wanted to do was to give it up
You asked me why did I stay
Guess I simply believed in something strong enough
Take me oﬀ this merry go round
I’m tired of circles, spinning around
We were bound at the heart and yeah we still are
It only seems we’re falling into dreams now
I see the problems at hand but I can’t hold them, well nobody can
Do you know what I mean?
It just seems to repeat ’til we rip at the seams
I just keep yearning to grow
It’s a simple task, and I’m falling in love again
Take me oﬀ this merry go round
I’m tired of circles, spinning around
We were bound at the heart and yeah we still are
It only seems we’re falling into dreams now
You asked why did I stick around
When our days were so wrong and our nights were so diﬃcult
You ask why did I stick around
Well I believed in changes for long enough
Take me oﬀ this merry go round
I’m tired of circles, spinning around
We were bound at the heart and yeah we still are
It only seems we’re falling into dreams now
