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
