Rinse & Repeat - 3

I fall too easily

I run too slow

You never saw me coming—

I didn’t know you’d show

Our life became a dream

I never thought I’d find

You hated when I asked, "Are you okay?"

Turns out my gut was right.

I felt it all along—

You hid the truth for far too long.

Love left me stranded in the dark

His touch still lingers, left its mark

Every kiss now fades to bitter heat

When a hand reaches for me, I just retreat

Caught in this cycle—rinse and repeat

Old habits resurface

Clouds fill up my head

Lessons that never run true

Doubting I'll ever love again

Ever since losing you

Love left me stranded in the dark

His touch still lingers, left its mark

Every kiss now fades to bitter heat

When a hand reaches for me, I just retreat

Caught in this cycle—rinse and repeat

I’ve been chasing shadows—

Falling through echoes,

Searching for anything

That feels like you.

Maybe love still lingers somewhere,

Hidden just beyond my reach

If I let your memory fade

Breath will return and my heart free

To learn what these lessons can teach

Love won’t leave me stranded in the dark

I’ll find a hand that holds my heart

No more mistaking a kiss for painful heat

I’ll choose a love that chooses me

I’m breaking the cycle—no more rinse and repeat
