Circles Around Me

Verse 1

You talked like you were reading from a throne,

Every word a rule that you carved in stone.

Midnight calls, I’m pacing on the floor,

Trying not to break while you’re keeping score.

You say I’m lost, you say I don’t make sense,

But you never let my heart finish a sentence.

Pre-Chorus

And I kept trying to meet you where you stand,

But you kept raising the bar, changing the plan…

Chorus

’Cause we were spinning in circles around the truth,

You called it logic, but it bruised me blue.

You said I’m emotional, like that’s something wrong,

But I only cried ’cause I held on too long.

And now you’re gone, saying some things can’t be undone—

But you crossed the line first, I was just the one who felt it.

Verse 2

You painted women like warnings in red,

Tangled double standards in everything you said.

Told me facts like weapons you were swinging at my chest,

While I tried to steady breathing, tried to do my best.

But every time I spoke, you shut the door,

Left me talking to the echo of “I’m not enough” once more.

Pre-Chorus

And I broke trying to lift what you kept weighing down,

Still hoping someday you’d turn around…

Chorus

But we kept spinning in circles around the truth,

You said you’re rational—well, I’m human too.

You made me small so you could feel tall,

But I’m done trying to justify it all.

Now you say some things can’t be undone—

But maybe losing you means I finally won.

Bridge

And I replayed every word like a film in my mind,

Wondering how you made me think my fire was a crime.

But I learned something when you walked away—

The truth doesn’t hurt when it’s yours to say.

I’m not broken, I’m not lost, I’m not what you defined,

I’m just finally free… from your version of my life.

Final Chorus

We were spinning in circles, you needed control,

But I found my voice in the pieces you stole.

If being myself is what made you run,

Then thank God you left—

’Cause the healing’s begun.
