Repeat

I know the words before you say them

Know the silence when you fake it

Every little thing you do

Leaves another trace of you

I changed the songs, I changed the station

Tried to break the association

But every road I take tonight

Leads me back to you somehow

And I hate that I know

Every high, every low

Like a record with a broken side

You're the sound I can't leave behind

You're on repeat, repeat

Running circles underneath my skin

I press delete, delete

But somehow you keep finding your way in

Round and round, I lose my sleep

Same old words, same melody

I don't even want you here with me

But you're on repeat, repeat

It's getting old, this conversation

Me and my imagination

Making meaning out of things

That were never meant to mean

And maybe I'm addicted to the feeling

Of a wound that keeps on healing

Just enough to let me go

Not enough to leave you cold

And I hate that I know

Every high, every low

Like a record with a broken side

You're the sound I can't leave behind

You're on repeat, repeat

Running circles underneath my skin

I press delete, delete

But somehow you keep finding your way in

Round and round, I lose my sleep

Same old words, same melody

I don't even want you here with me

But you're on repeat, repeat

Maybe it's not you anymore

Maybe it's what I keep you for

A little ghost inside my head

Playing everything we never said

I turn it off

It starts again

I swear this is the bitter end

You're on repeat, repeat

Even when there's nothing left to feel

I press delete, delete

But you're the one thing I can't make unreal

Round and round, you pull me deep

Same old lie, same melody

I don't even want you here with me

But you're on repeat, repeat

Repeat… repeat…

You're not even here.

So why can I still hear you?
