katie melua-perfect circle
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
