Circle The Drain

Katy Perry · Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection

"This is the last time", you say

After the last line you break

It's not even a holiday, nothing to celebrate

(brate, brate, brate, brate)



You give a hundred reasons why

And say you're really gonna try

If I had a nickel for every time

I'd own the bank (bank, bank, bank, bank)



Thought that I was the exception

I could rewrite your addiction

You could have been the greatest

But you'd rather get wasted



CHORUS

You fall asleep during foreplay

Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around to watch you go down



Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain



You say they help you write your rhymes

Whatever helps you sleep at night

You've become what you despise

A stereotype (type, type, type, type)



You think you're so rock and roll

But you're really just a joke

Had the world in the palm of your hands

But you fucking cho-oh-oh-oked



You should've been my team mate

Could've changed your fate

You say that you love me

You won't remember in the morning



CHORUS

You fall asleep during foreplay

Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around to watch you go down



Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain



{instrumental}



CHORUS

You fall asleep during foreplay

Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around (I'm not sticking around)

To watch you go down (I'm not sticking around)



Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain



Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

You're going out, you're going out, you're going out



You fall asleep during foreplay

Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around to watch you go down
