Circle the Drain Lyrics

This is the last time you say
After the last line you break
It's not even a holiday
Nothing to celebrate-brate-brate...

You give a hundred reasons why
And say you're really gonna try
If I had a nickel for everytime
I'd overbank

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

You fall asleep
During foreplay
'Cause the pills you take
Are more your forté
I'm not sticking around
To watch you go down

Wanna be your lover
Not your fucking mother
Can't be your savior
I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and
Watch your circle to drain
Watch your circle to drain
Watch your circle to drain
You say you have to write your rhymes
Whatever helps you sleep at night
You've become what you despise
A stereotype-type-type...

You think you're so rock and roll
But you're really just a joke
Had the world in the palm of your hand
But you fucking cho-o-o-o-oked

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

You fall asleep
During foreplay
'Cause the pills you take
Are more your forté
I'm not sticking around
To watch you go down

Wanna be your lover
Not your fucking mother
Can't be your savior
I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and
Watch your circle to drain
Watch your circle to drain
Watch your circle to drain
(Oh, oh, oh ...Yeah...)

You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take
Are more your forté
I'm not sticking around (I'm not sticking around)
To watch you go down (I'm not sticking around)
Wanna be your lover
Not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior
I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and
Watch your circle to drain
Watch your circle to drain
Watch your circle to drain

Watch your circle to drain

Watch your circle to drai-ai-ain

La la da da da da, da, da
La la da da da da, da, da

You're goin' down
You fall asleep
During foreplay
'Cause the pills you take
Are more your forté
I'm not sticking around
To watch you go down
