Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got habits that I just can't break
When I think about it, I start to shake
I've been feeling like this for a while
And I always hide behind my crooked smile
[Chorus]
I keep running in circles
Chasing my tail
I've lost my purpose
I need some help
[Verse 2]
I've had good days and I've had bad
I wouldn't trade it for the time that we've had
White lies, oh, white lies
Bright smiles turn to crying eyes
[Chorus]
And I keep running in circles
Chasing my tail
It looks good on the surface
I need some help
[PostChorus]
'Cause we've only got one shot
From the moment we started
Gotta stay on lock
Locked on target
I've got everything I need
More than I wanted
But it means nothing when you're gone
No
[Refrain]
But it means nothing when you're gone
No
[Bridge]
I know nothing is for sure
I know nothing is for sure, I
I know nothing is for sure
I know nothing is for sure
[Bridge]
Hold on
Hold on, oh
Hold on, oh
Hold on, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
I've got habits that I just can't break
[Bridge]
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love
Hey
[Outro]
Come back, my love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love, love
Come back, my love, love
Won't you please come back, my love?
Come back, my love, love
