Wash, Rinse, Repeat

A tale of an endless cycle...

-Day after day it’s unfortunate to say we get under each other's skin

-Again & again, we re-begin but seem to still never win

-Why do we put ourselves through this? It keeps our patience worn thin

-Be it lust, love, or codependency, either way this cycle must end

-Wash, rinse, repeat, why did we have to meet?

-Wash, rinse, repeat, should never have stopped to speak

-Wash, rinse, repeat, chaos & drama every week

-Wash, rinse, repeat, gotta break free to find some peace

-We've packed our bags & headed for the door

-Stopping to make love then recreate war

-This isn't healthy for us & should continue no more

-Fight to forgive, forgive to fight, this endless cycle is draining of life

-Not pointing fingers, we’re both to blame, let’s end amicably & not bitter with disdain

-Wash, rinse, repeat, I wish we didn't meet

-Wash, rinse, repeat, its not all bad, some parts are sweet

-Wash, rinse, repeat, back & forth every week

-Wash, rinse, repeat, final cycle, I'm done, complete!

THE END
