Lyrics

A circle I can't break

A sense of repetition and inability to break free from a cycle.

A past I can't escape

Feeling trapped by a past that continues to influence the present.

No matter what I do

Despite efforts, there's a constant return to a particular situation.

It all comes back to you

The persistence of a connection or influence, possibly from a person or memory.

Regret that I can't shake

A feeling of remorse that is hard to overcome.

The choices that I make

The consequences of decisions linger and affect the present.

No matter what I do

Continued struggle with the recurring impact of a certain element.

It all comes back to you

Reiterating the inescapable nature of the influence.


Tried to find my own way, but no, I can't

Attempts to find a unique path but facing difficulty.

I knew you like the back of my hand

A deep understanding of someone, suggesting intimacy or familiarity.

Old habits are hard to break

Referring to the challenges in breaking long-standing behaviors.

And it's hard to fill that space

The difficulty in replacing something or someone significant.


I come begging

Expressing a sense of pleading or desperation.

I come crawling

Describing a submissive or vulnerable approach.

Right back to your bed

Returning to a familiar, possibly comforting, place or relationship.

Try not to think but your memory

The struggle to avoid thinking about a past memory.

Always rears its ugly head

The persistence of unpleasant memories that resurface.


A circle I can't break

Reiteration of the inability to break free from a recurring pattern.

A past I can't escape

Continued reference to a past that remains influential.

No matter what I do

Despite efforts, there's a constant return to a particular situation.

It all comes back to you

Emphasizing the inescapable nature of the influence.

Regret that I can't shake

A sense of remorse that is difficult to overcome.

The choices that I make

Consequences of decisions linger and affect the present.

No matter what I do

Continued struggle with the recurring impact of a certain element.

It all comes back to you

Reiterating the inescapable nature of the influence.


Some come, some more go

People come and go, but a specific individual remains prominent.

But you still fill up my skull

The persistent presence of a person in one's thoughts.

Old habits are hard to break

Highlighting the difficulty in breaking established behaviors.

But they don't even come close

Emphasizing that the existing habits are unmatched.


Old habits are hard to break

Reiteration of the challenges in breaking long-standing behaviors.

But you still fill up my skull

The continued dominance of a person in one's thoughts.

Old habits are hard to break

Underlining the enduring difficulty in overcoming established habits.

But they don't even come, even come close

Stressing the insurmountable nature of the challenge.
