Lyrics:
I’ll tread light where you lay,
I should be pushing you away
I’m over always reconciling and compromising
Because you never set the pace.
And I’m so sick of this disdain
I’ve come to realize, despite despising, you’re always going to occupy this space.
Get out of my face.

I've been trying to get by
You've been buried in your lies
Always running round in circles
No escaping your reprise.
But you won’t listen
So keep on running round and I’ll keep my distance.

Now I've realized
I feel sicker everyday but it gets better when I'm away
Overthinking's what I do when I have nothing left to say.
Why are you always consistent
With your over persistence?

I've been trying to get by
You've been buried in your lies
Always running round in circles
No escaping your reprise.
But you won’t listen
So keep on running round and I’ll keep my distance.

Keep on running round
Keep on running round, I’ll keep my distance.
Why are you always consistent
With your over persistence?

I've been trying to get by
You've been buried in your lies
Always running round in circles
No escaping your reprise.
But you won’t listen
So keep on running round and I’ll keep my distance.
