I wish I would have learned / once you cross the line / it starts to blur 
And even though I know it’s wrong / still I’m falling for the lie / 
I’ve been here before 
So what’s the harm / of one last time 

It goes around and around again / I need an honest friend 
To call me out / to call me out / and bring the cycle to an end 
Bring the cycle to an end 

I wish would have known / once you blur the line / there’s no telling where you’ll go no Even though I know it’s wrong / 
I need this now to get me by / it’s my comfort 
It’s my right / so what’s the harm / of one more time  

It goes around and around again / I need an honest friend 
To call me out / to call me out / and bring the cycle to an end 
Bring the cycle to an end 

Lead me home (background vocals) 
Down on my knees / it’s plain to see 
I’m not the best at knowing what is best for me /
Stuck in a cycle of sin and regret / 
Circles of wanting but going to the wrong place to get /
But we were never meant to break it on our own / 
Trying to make it all alone /
Has left me faking like I know that way to shake this / 
so I’m asking for help 
Cause every time I try to save myself  

It goes around and around again / I need an honest friend 
To call me out / to call me out / and bring the cycle to an end 
Bring the cycle to an end / bring the cycle to an end / 
bring the cycle to an end
