Lyrics of Circle The Drain by Katy Perry

verse

"This is the last time," you say
After the last line, you break
It′s not even a holiday
Nothin' to celebrate (′brate, 'brate, 'brate)

verse

You give a hundred reasons why
And say you′re really gonna try
If I had a nickel for every time
I′d own the bank (bank, bank, bank)

pre-chorus

Thought that I was the exception
I could rewrite your addiction
You could've been the greatest
But you′d rather get wasted

chorus

You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I′m not stickin' around to watch you go down (down)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin′ mother
Can't be your savior, I don't have the power
I′m not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

verse

You say it helps you write your rhymes
Whatever helps you sleep at night
You′ve become what you despise
A stereotype-type-type-type

verse

You think you're so rock ′n' roll
But you′re really just a joke
Had the world in the palm of your hands
But you fuckin' choked

pre-chorus

Should′ve been my teammate
Could've changed your fate
You say that you love me
You won't remember in the morning

chorus

You fall asleep during foreplay
′Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I′m not stickin' around to watch you go down (oh-oh)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin′ mother
Can't be your savior, I don′t have the power
I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

chorus

You fall asleep during foreplay
′Cause the pills you take are more your forte
I'm not stickin' around (I′m not stickin′ around)
To watch you go down (I'm not stickin′ around)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother
Can′t be your savior, I don't have the power
I′m not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

hook

Watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain

hook

You're goin' down, you′re goin′ down
You're goin′ down, you're goin′ down, down, down

outro

You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I′m not stickin' around to watch you go down
