Control

Everything's alone, it's just the way I left I can't even trace where this other life began Driving down the same old street Sometimes I forget to breathe You won't ever hear me sing this one again Far back in my memory I hear your words But somehow someone's poisoned me and now they're cursed Father, Son, and Holy Ghost I would never let you go The only way it'd work is if I were provoked Ooooh, you had control Ooooh, so long ago As hard as you can try, this heart of mine won't break Go 'head and knock me down, there's so much I can take I know that you wish me well But, darlin', I can never tell It's tricky when your love is just some cry for help Ooh you had control Ooooh, so long ago Ooooh, you had control Ooooh, so long ago Our peace is lingering in my head Like rotten leaves, you're choking me with the stem And now I see so far down this road ahead It doesn't mean whatever the hell we said Rain is falling here on this other side of town I'm sure that it's clear wherever you are right now Say you don't believe in me Just so I can finally leave 'Cause you're the only thing that's keepin' me around Ooooh, you had control Oooh, so long ago Ooh, you had control Ooooh, so long ago
