  • If shame had a face
    I think it would kind of look like mine
    If it had a home would it be my eyes?
    Would you believe me
    If I said I am tired of this
    How here we go now one more time

    I tried to climb your steps
    I tried to chase you down
    I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
    I tried to earn my way
    I tried to tame this mind
    You better believe that I tried to beat this

    So when will this end
    It goes on and on
    Over and over and over again
    Keep spinning around i know that it won't stop
    Till I step down from this for good

    I never thought I'd end up here
    I never thought Id be standing where I am
    I guess a kind of thought it would be easier than this I guess
    I was wrong now one more time

    I tried to climb your steps
    I tried to chase you down
    I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
    I tried to earn my way
    I tried to tame this mind
    You better believe that I tried to beat this

    So when will this end
    It goes on and on
    Over and over and over again
    Keep spinning around
    I know that it won't stop
    Till I step down from this

    Sick cycle carousel,
    This is a sick cycle, yeah
    Sick cycle carousel
    This is a sick cycle, yeah

    So will this end
    It goes on and on
    Over and over and over again
    Keep spinning around
    I know that it won't stop
    Till I step down from this for good

    When will this end
    It goes on and on
    Over and over and over again
    Keep spinning around
    I know that it won't stop
    Till I step down from this for good

  • Jason Newsted from ZimbabweI tried to climb your steps
    I tried to chase you down
    I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
    I tried to earn my way
    I tried to tame this mind
    You better believe that I tried to beat this
  • Damaris Leon from California I love this song a lot, it has a lot of meaning to it and a lot of emotion as well!! Over all the whole song is amazing I love it.
  • Lahni from Perth, AustraliaThis song is awsum!! Jason has a really great voice and the band is excellent at making love songs.
  • Hope from Florence, MtI really like this song. The video is kind of freaky, but it's still good. Hi Robert, by the way. Ha ha.
  • Robert from Mountain Lakes, NjThis is a great song by Lifehouse-probably one of their best next to "You and Me". Let's get some more comments on this one, eh?
