You told me not to come 'round here, but look what I found, dear
I came here looking for closure, but it's overexposure
And here we go again
We go round and round on this carousel
It looks like heaven but feels like hell
Like a captain who's lost the chart
Round and round, and back to the start
I tried to write a new ending, but I was pretending
Once again I'm afflicted, just as predicted
The cycle starts again
We go round and round on this carousel
It looks like heaven but feels like hell
Like a captain who's lost the chart
Round and round, and back to the start
We go round and round on this carousel
This same old ride but we know it well
We are actors who play our parts
Round and round and back to the start
I resisted, but you persisted
And now we're strapped in for another ride
The lights are blinding, restraints are binding
When it's through, I'll get back in line
Once again I've been captured, I'll wait for the rapture
I really thought this was finished, and now I'm diminished
We go round and round on this carousel
It looks like heaven but feels like hell
Like a captain who's lost the chart
Round and round, and back to the start
We go round and round on this carousel
This same old ride but we know it well
We are actors who play our parts
Round and round and back to the start
