Perfect Circle - Katie Melua

A mask is easily placed

On a betrayed and broken face

A disguise to hide the past

When you mapped out my skin and made the memories last

Some things are never erased

And I have run when I’ve been chased

By recollections of you and me falling off our homemade castle

And even when I’m walking straight I always end up in a perfect circle

Oh I try but I just can’t wait

To break out of this perfect circle

'Cos giving into old temptation

Is like that common twitch

Oh the silly stupid realisation

The more you scratch the more you itch

Why am I fighting, what’s it for

Must let my mask drop to the floor

My scars I shouldn’t hide from the people who are on my side

Rolling up my sleeves to fight against

All the things I locked up and all the things I fenced

But it’s time to let it out so we can build a brand new castle

And even when I’m walking straight I always end up in a perfect circle

Oh I try but I just can’t wait

To break out of this perfect circle

'Cos giving into old temptation

Is like that common twitch

Oh the silly stupid realisation

The more you scratch the more you itch

And even when I’m walking straight I always end up in a perfect circle

Oh I try but I just can’t wait

To break out of this perfect circle

'Cos giving into old temptation

Is like that common twitch

Oh the silly stupid realisation

The more you scratch the more you itch

The more you scratch the more you itch
