Control

I was down on my luck when you rushed in You offered beauty and magic and sin I wanted a home, you wanted a game After a narcissist's touch, you're never the same You said no one would love me, baby Nobody like you, I believed you too Then you went and snuck your hooks into me First love I ever, first pain I ever I ran away, but I got sicker You live in my lungs, you live in my liver You fled the scene, there's not a trace Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name? (Ooh) and I can never go back now (Ooh) you burned my youth and my house down (Ooh) tell me the truth, did you ever want love Or was control all it ever was? I was quick to forgive, slow to anger To you, I was selfish, your biggest betrayer First comes thunder, then beautiful rain You don't see erosion 'til it's too late You said no one would love me, baby Nobody like you, I believed you too Then you went and snuck your hooks into me First love I ever, first pain I ever I ran away, but I got sicker You live in my lungs, you live in my liver You fled the scene, there's not a trace Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name? (Ooh) and I can never go back now (Ooh) you burned my youth and my house down (Ooh) tell me the truth, did you ever want love? But love is not control, is it? Love is not a test, is it? Love is not a weapon, is it? Is it? But I still hear Love is not to fight, is it? Love is never free, is it? Love is not to leave, is it? Is it? I ran away, but I got sicker You're in my lungs, in my liver You fled the scene, there's not a trace Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name? And I can never go back now You burned my youth and my house down Tell me the truth, did you ever want love Or was control all it ever was?
