Cycles Of Pain

Paulo Castelo

Compositor: Paulo Castelo

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Ah, ah-ah)
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Once again, the same old end
Me on the street, your voice won’t bend
You promised, vows in the wind
But all that’s left is pain within

I stand in darkness, don't know why
I come back to you, losing my mind
All I wanted was peace, all you do is fight
And the pieces of us, shattered in the night

Cycles of pain, I can’t break free
You try to hold me, but I will leave
(Secrets in the air, promises torn)
I know I must cut through this illusion

In the café, the humiliation’s routine
Stares all around, as if it means nothing
You accuse me of what I never did
But all you want is to push me to the brink

I walk away, but I come back
Your tears promise peace, but they crack
But the drink inside you, it changes who you are
And I’m sinking deeper into your scars

Cycles of pain, I can’t break free
You try to hold me, but I will leave
(Secrets in the air, promises torn)
I know I must cut through this illusion

With every broken promise
I get more trapped in your madness
Even when I try to run
Fear holds me from the Sun

I feel your shadow creeping close
Even when I try the most
To seek the freedom, seek the air
But all that’s left is this nightmare

Oh-oh-oh
(Ah, ah-ah)
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I try to cut the rope that bleeds
But all I do, it breaks my needs
You say love is just a cage
But it’s your obsession, not a page

I’m more than this endless fight
I need to find the life I lost
I’ll walk away, I’ll breathe again
I’m done with all this cruel torment

Cycles of pain, I can’t break free
You try to hold me, but I will leave
(Secrets in the air, promises torn)
I know I must cut through this illusion

At the bottom of the pit, I see the light
But your rage always pulls me tight
No more darkness, no more tears
I’ll escape, I won’t give in to fears

You’ll keep shouting, you’ll beg and cry
But this time, I’ll learn to fly
No more of you, no more of us
Now my voice is the one I trust

Cycles of pain, I will break
No more fear, I will escape
(Secrets in the air, promises torn)
Finally, I’ve cut through this illusion

Oh-oh-oh
No more pain
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I’ll break free
I’ll break the cycle of pain
