Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take back the reins, it's been a while
'Cause I played the part, painted on my smile
You placed your bets upon my head
"Don't trust a gambling man", oh Mama said
Leave me at the crossroads, never again
[PreChorus]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Better watch my time
Better fix my head
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna feel the days to weeks
Reaching up but falling to my knees
Oh you struck a chord inside of me
Gatekeeper loves me
Oh I feel the heat, but you're so cold
Oh you broke me down, you stripped my soul, oh
Why'd you lock me out? I'll never know
Why gatekeeper loves me
[Verse 2]
How did I stoop and get so low?
I bent my back, the seeds were sown
I hate the hand that feeds me, no, never again
[PreChorus]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Better watch my time
Better fix my head
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna feel the days to weeks
Reaching up but falling to my knees
Oh you struck a chord inside of me
Gatekeeper loves me
Oh I feel the heat, but you're so cold
Oh you broke me down, you stripped my soul, oh
Why'd you lock me out? I'll never know
Why gatekeeper loves me
[Bridge]
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
And I'm running
[Outro]
Oh I feel the heat, but you're so cold
Oh you broke me down, you stripped my soul
Why'd you lock me out? I'll never know
Why gatekeeper loves me
