[Instrumental]
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You came in like a storm, all fireworks and charm
Showered me with roses, wrapped me in your arms
Promises of forever, made me feel like a star
But deep down I knew, it was too good by far
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers turned to shouts, the mask began to crack
What was sweet turned sour, no way to turn back
[Chorus]
It's a deadly cycle, round and round we go
Love bombing hits me high, then devaluation low
Discard me like I'm nothing, leave me in the cold
But hoover back with lies, and the story's retold
Deadly cycle, gotta break the chain
No more playing your game, no more feeling the pain
Deadly cycle, I'm done with the ride
Gonna find my own light, leave you far behind
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Critiques in the mirror, tearing down my soul
What was gold turned to rust, you took full control
One day I'm your king, next I'm pushed aside
Left me broken-hearted, drowning in the tide
[Pre-Chorus]
But then you call at midnight, saying "baby, come home"
Pulling strings like a puppet, but now I'm not alone
[Chorus]
It's a deadly cycle, round and round we go
Love bombing hits me high, then devaluation low
Discard me like I'm nothing, leave me in the cold
But hoover back with lies, and the story's retold
Deadly cycle, gotta break the chain
No more playing your game, no more feeling the pain
Deadly cycle, I'm done with the ride
Gonna find my own light, leave you far behind
[Bridge]
I see the pattern now, the trap you set so sweet
No more falling for it, standing on my feet
Your words are just echoes, fading in the night
I'm rising from the ashes, stepping into the light
[Final Chorus]
It's a deadly cycle, but I'm breaking free
Love bombing can't touch me, devaluation's history
Discard all you want, I won't feel the sting
No hoover gonna pull me back into your ring
Deadly cycle, watch me walk away Stronger than before, brighter every day
Deadly cycle, it's over for good
I'm loving myself like I never could!
[Outro]
