Roundabouts Songtext
von Michael Patrick Kelly

Did you take a wrong turn to pass me by?
Did you mean to walk past and catch my eye?
′Cause you were acting kinda shy
Then I took a chance and asked you out
For a month we circled roundabouts
I was falling faster than the speed of light

So last night when I saw you out
In another man's arms
It cut like a knife

Now I′m standing here alone
On the street where we first met
I'm falling deeper trying to get you out of my head
Staring at my phone, hoping some day you'll call it
I only knew I loved you when I watched you go


Looking back, I wonder did I try
Try enough or was I petrified
To say what was running through my mind?
Oh, it ain′t easy acting like I′m fine
Yeah, it tears me up, he's holding you tonight
Did I let you pass me by?

′Cause that night when I saw you out
In another man's arms
It cut like a knife

Now I′m standing here alone
On the street where we first met
I'm falling deeper trying to get you out of my head
Staring at my phone, hoping some day you′ll call it
I only knew I loved you when I watched you go
I only knew I loved you when I watched you go

Wasn't easy acting like I was fine
For a year it tore me up inside
But I still think of you sometimes

Now I'm standing here alone
On the street where we first met
I′m falling deeper trying to get you out of my head
Staring at my phone, hoping some day you′ll call it
I only knew I loved you when I watched you go


I'm standing here alone
On the street where we first met
I′m falling deeper trying to get you out of my head
Staring at my phone, hoping some day you'll call it
I only knew I loved you when I watched you go

I only knew I loved you when I watched you go
