Record on Repeat

would you rewrite the beat?

By Charli LilliPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

do i play on ur mind like a record on repeat

do i travel around while ur trying to sleep

will you ever outgrow me, wish you’ve never known me?

am i just a promise that you couldn’t keep?

do i play on ur mind like a record on repeat

do you know every word?

would you rewrite the beat?

sometimes i try too hard to stay in harmony

soon i’ll sit back and watch as you get up and leave

know that this just won’t last

you’ve got places to be

so i sit and accept i’m only temporary

one day you’ll move along

and i’ll stay here alone

just repeating that record

that once played our song
