Lyrics
Control
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't try and make yourself hate him
He tried that one with you
He ended up just hating himself
And more in love with you
You'll have to learn from all his mistakes
The brain can lie but your heart will never fake
He's been rushing around
Grabbing all he can find as quickly as he could
'Cause he knew you would
When he saw that distant look, he had to say goodbye
'Cause he knew you could
People say that he's a bastard, that's an unfair use of words
When I don't know what was going on, no, I never really heard
Why don't you wake up to what he's got
Do you have the time to find out if he's lost control?
There's no point in hanging around
If happiness can't be found, you'd better go
He never stopped to ask you why
He never had to try, well he was wrong
Why don't you wake up to what you want and listen to his lines
'Cause what you two have been going through has happened many times
I've never seen you taking any prisoners, but I've seen you weep
Yeah, I've seen you apologising, but thats not gonna work with me.
I've heard you're telling everybody what you've done to him
But that doesn't add up to a sorry and it's not gonna work with me
He's been rushing around
Grabbing all he can find as quickly as he could
'Cause he knew you would
When he saw that distant look, he had to say goodbye
'Cause he knew you could
Why don't you wake up to what he's got and stop filling him with lies
'Cause what you two have been going through has happened many times
It's happened too many times
