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
