Carousel

Yeah I'm caught up
Why don't you speak your mind
'Cuz I've been waiting far too long to say what's been on mine

Yeah it's all good
When obviously it's not
And yet we say the same thing every single time
Yeah

Why you wanna put me in the worst mood?
Try to ease the pain but it hurts too much
So emotional
That's just how it goes

Now you got me breaking my own rules
So much to lose, what'd you do to us?
I'ma let you know
Whoa

You say you love me but the drive's gone
Never call me on the drive home
Now you've got me down and out
So I wish you well

But then you tell me it's been too long
And you been listening to my songs
We keep going round and round
Like a carousel

Are we afraid to be alone?
Can't stop staring at the phone
Leave a message at the tone (round and round)
Like a carousel

Destination unknown
It's a countdown till you're gone
Leave a message at the tone (round and round)
Like a carousel

Hold up
All those nights you called
And all those times you wanted me to stop
Whenever you'd go

Guess what
All this needs to stop
'Cuz my patience and your time are running low
Yeah

Why you wanna put me in the worst mood?
Try to ease the pain but it hurts too much
Want me to hold you close
Then leave me all alone

Now you got me breaking my own rules
So much to lose, what'd you do to us?
System overload
Whoa

You say you love me but the time's wrong
Never call me on the drive home
I'm still tryna find out how
I been under your spell

But then you take me to the night club
Turn heads 'til they turn the lights on
We keep goin round and round
Like a carousel

Are we afraid to be alone?
Can't stop staring at the phone
Leave a message at the tone (round and round)
Like a carousel

Destination unknown
It's a countdown till you're gone
Leave a message at the tone (round and round)
Like a carousel

You took all I got but you won't get the rest of me
This ain't what I meant when I said you bring out the best in me
We were laughing you acted like you'd invest in me
No happy ever after you made disaster the recipe

And every time I would try get up and move on
You pull me close and would tell me that it's been too long
So every night I would stay awake on that futon
Waiting with my jacket and my shoes on
I'm done

You say you love me but the night's young
Don't call me on the drive home
I won't turn the car around
You did this to yourself

Been on this ride for too long
You can make it alone
Now it's just you and yourself
On that carousel

Are we afraid to be alone?
Can't stop staring at the phone
Leave a message at the tone (round and round)
Like a carousel

Destination unknown
It's a countdown till you're gone
Leave a message at the tone (round and round)
