THE VICIOUS CYCLE

STAGE 1: GETTING TO KNOW; SOAKING IN LOVE

We Could Be Amazing

Dust off your heart and take it for a spin
I know it’s been a while since love has been
why don’t you come outside
my arms are open wide
and I’ll be here until you realize
realize

Cause I’ll be standing on your doorstep
Lie hotter than the sunset
just take your sweet time babe
I’ll let you sleep

Cause the love that I’m holdin’
Will still be here in the morning
I’m just sittin’ here hoping
You’ll come down to me

We could be amazing
We could be amazing

You know you’re gonna have to trust again
So throw on your shades and stop your worryin’
I got your heart, your bag
so don’t stress out on that
Us being here is not an accident
accident

Cause I’ll be standing on your doorstep
Lie hotter than the sunset
just take your sweet time babe
I’ll let you sleep

Cause the love that I’m holdin’
Will still be here in the morning
I’m just sittin’ here hoping
You’ll come down to me

We could be amazing
We could be amazing

You’ve done something right
to keep me up all night
I could wait forever in your smile
I will not give in
You will love again
Open up your heart and say you’ll try
say you’ll try

Cause I’ll be standing on your doorstep
Lie hotter than the sunset
just take your sweet time babe…
Cause I’ll be standing on your doorstep
Lie hotter than the sunset
just take your sweet time babe
I’ll let you sleep

Cause the love that I’m holdin’
Will still be here in the morning
I’m just sittin’ here hoping
You’ll come down to me

We could be amazing (x5)

STAGE 2: BREAKING UP

Stepping Stones

I can’t say that love is gone
Something still feels wrong
I find myself so far from you, oh
Foot in, one foot out
I chase my tail about
You analyse my every move, oh

See you don’t need me now
I’ll just slow you down
You can stand all on your own, oh
The love we shared was real
The secrets we revealed
I hope I was a stepping stone, oh

Because you are more yourself than when you met me
And I can say the same
I’m more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There’s so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one’s that help us grow
And you have done that much for me
And I hope I’ve been a stepping stone
Looking back on what was done
Sure, I hurt you some
Sure, you threw a few low blows, oh
But when the bruises heal
I’ll take down my shield
And thank God above I know you

Because you are more yourself than when I met you
And I can say the same
I’m more myself than when I met you

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There’s so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one’s that help us grow
And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don’t
Toss the work we’ve done aside
Because we’re letting go
This is just a piece of life
Focus on the whole
We have come so far

Well I hope you use my back to step across the pond
And I hope by pushing off me, you will land upon
The guy who’s surely out there to whom you belong
Find him now

And oh, I just want you to know
This is not a waste of time
There’s so much more below
The surface we all search to find
The one’s that help us grow
And you have done that much for me

So please I ask you don’t
Toss the work we’ve done aside
Because we’re letting go
This is just a piece of life
Focus on the whole
We have come so far

Sing it out,
I needed, I needed
To meet you

STAGE 3: MOVING ON

Miss Me

I wake up and I’m sober
Don’t even know you anymore
Punch drunk on a feeling
Lost in believing I was sure

I don’t care what you have to say
Damn words get in the way, I don’t wanna know
I know there’ll come a time
When I look you in the eyes and say, “I told you so”

And I promise you this
You’re gonna miss me, miss me
As long as you live
You’re gonna miss me, miss me
Oh

Set me up for the falling
Gave me no warning, you were gone
Let me down, I was reading
I can’t believe what you have done

Go do what you’ve gotta do
Damn words will follow you everywhere you go
And I know there’ll come a time
When I look you in the eyes and say, “I told you so”

And I promise you this
You’re gonna miss me, miss me
As long as you live
You’re gonna miss me, miss me
Oh

I believe in my heart
When something’s wrong, say it’s wrong
I can deal with the part
When something’s wrong if we both stay strong
I know there will come a time
When I look you in the eyes and say, “I told you so”

And I promise you this
You’re gonna miss me, miss me
As long as you live
You’re gonna miss me, miss me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I wake up and I’m sober
