"Control" lyrics

"Control"

I'll be gone, declining, in a matter of time
That's the price that you pay for regret
Pack a suitcase or two
Leave the key at the door
I'm aware that the blame is on me

We could have made it in a different world for different eyes
And nominate each other not to carry on with the lies
We could have made it but we didn't have the stamina
We both lost out in the end

Oh, my love, I see you've gone
Yeah, we've lost control
Baby

I am hot, I am soaking, I am feverish
As I lay in this cheap hotel room
And I haven't a clue as to where I will go
But I know it'll not be with you

We could have made it in a different world for different eyes
And nominate each other not to carry on with the lies
We could have made it but we didn't have the stamina
We both lost out in the end

Oh, my love, I see you've gone
Yeah we've lost control
Baby, I see you've gone
Yeah we've lost control
Baby

Tell my brother, tell my sister
That I've gone away
Give me strength, give me muscle
Give me surveillance

In the puddles by the graveyard
Lay confetti rise
It's hearty as an evergreen
It serves to punish me

Yeah, I am waiting to hear from you
But you choose to offer me silence
Yeah see, how hard is it for you to see
That I am a crumbling mess

Oh, my love, I see you've gone
Yeah, we've lost control
Baby, I see you've gone
We've lost control

My baby, my baby, my baby
Oh my baby, my baby, my baby
