Bitter taste in my mouth
It’s happened again
Wonder how this time will bring me
Closer to the end
Recognize the face of who I am and who I’ve been
Outrageous but the truth’s so easy to bend
Why is it so hard to turn away from you?
Why is it so hard to learn to stay away?
Why is it so hard to stay away from you?
Why is it so hard to learn?
Recognize the feeling, unlikely to win
Know it’s not the answer but the motion begins
Catch a glimpse reflection bears no punches held in
Might as well become someone that’s drowning in it
Why are you still here?
Why are you still standing there?
Why do we keep dancing in the same old patterns?
Why am I still here?
Why am I still standing there?
Why can’t I stop thinking in the same old circles
Let go, (why is it so hard to turn away from you?)
There’s nowhere to run
All of this is temporary
You’re losing time and gaining nothing
You can see what’s happening, I know
