Running In Circles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feel like I'm never enough
I say, "I don't give a fuck"
So I keep my shit down low
Slowly coming undone, yeah
I run in circles

Get back, get back, get away
Watch me try hard anyway
It's all fake, the self-hate's killing me
I know that I'm not that

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm sick of pretending
So sick of pretending

[Chorus]
I need to run away
Soon I'll be just like the others
Hide my face
No one knows it's pulling me under
Feels like I'm running, running, oh
Feels like I'm running in circles
Feels like I'm running, running, oh
Feels like I'm running in circles, yeah

[Verse 2]
I dig a hole in the Earth
I bury myself down low
Never speaking again
I hide beneath the surface
Get back, get back, get away
I'm fucked up, and I can't see straight
Late nights, Jameson and nicotine
I'm not that, I'm not that
[Pre-Chorus]
So sick of pretending

[Chorus]
I need to run away
Soon I'll be just like the others
Hide my face
No one knows it's pulling me under
Feels like I'm running, running, oh
Feels like I'm running in circles
Feels like I'm running, running, oh
Feels like I'm running in circles

[Post-Chorus]
Feels like I'm running in circles, yeah
Feels like I'm running in circles

[Bridge]
I'm so sick of pretending, oh
That I'm someone and something I'm not
So I'm back where I started falling apart


[Chorus]
I need to run away
Soon I'll be just like the others
Hide my face
No one knows it's pulling me under
Feels like I'm running, running, oh
Feels like I'm running in circles
Feels like I'm running, running, oh
It feels like I'm running in circles
[Outro]
Yeah
Feels like I'm running in circles
Yeah
Feels like I'm running in circles

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

When asked about the new single by the Real Rock 97.7 QLZ radio, the band said “‘Running In Circles’ explores the paranoid voices inside our heads. It’s about the struggle of being real with yourself – avoiding the ‘fake’. Sometimes, it feels impossible to avoid, It was written about not being true to yourself and the shame that follows.”
