[Verse 1]
Ever since you left me
I've been trying to hide the pain
Painting on a smile with lipstick
Putting on a big charade
So difficult to keep pretending
It's getting harder everyday
It's plain to see I'm cold and heartsick
Since you turned and walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
I just keep going 'round and 'round
And 'round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
[Chorus]
Oh boy, my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
(Running around in circles over you)
[Verse 2]
Saturday I saw you
Holding hands with someone new
Somehow I kept my composure
Just like everything was cool
But inside I kept repeating
Don't you let them see you cry
So I casually turned my head
As the tears rolled down my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I just keep going 'round and 'round
And 'round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
[Chorus]
Oh boy, my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
[Bridge]
Everything is you
How can I pull through?
My heart is consumed, I'm so confused
Still caught up in you, love can be so cruel
Baby, don't know how to turn you loose
[Chorus]
Oh boy, my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
No, nothing's the same
You got me running around
And running around
And running around
Nothing's the same
Baby, baby, 'cause you
Got me running around in circles over you
(Running around in circles over... you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ever since you left me
I've been trying to hide the pain
Painting on a smile with lipstick
Putting on a big charade
So difficult to keep pretending
It's getting harder everyday
It's plain to see I'm cold and heartsick
Since you turned and walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
I just keep going 'round and 'round
And 'round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
[Chorus]
Oh boy, my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
(Running around in circles over you)
[Verse 2]
Saturday I saw you
Holding hands with someone new
Somehow I kept my composure
Just like everything was cool
But inside I kept repeating
Don't you let them see you cry
So I casually turned my head
As the tears rolled down my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I just keep going 'round and 'round
And 'round in circles
Keep on tumbling down
[Chorus]
Oh boy, my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
Nothing's the same
You got me running around in circles over you
[Bridge]
Everything is you
How can I pull through?
My heart is consumed, I'm so confused
Still caught up in you, love can be so cruel
Baby, don't know how to turn you loose
[Chorus]
Oh boy, my world has changed
And I don't think I can make it without you
No, nothing's the same
You got me running around
And running around
And running around
Nothing's the same
Baby, baby, 'cause you
Got me running around in circles over you
(Running around in circles over... you)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
