Control

Pages and pages of break up in front of me

Explaining the reasons why we could not be friends

I try to hit back but my heart attack hit me first

The doctors they say I'm yet to feel the worst

But most of our friends say to leave it alone

Phrases like what don't kill you will just make you strong

They're all full of shit

And they don't believe it

You control them like you control this song

You can call me foolish

But I thought we'd share our lives

Have babies and laugh when we'd get fat and eventually die

I'd work with your dad yeah I thought you'd be glad we were rich

Then when I'd get home I'd strip down and grant you your wish

Cos most of our friends say to leave it alone

Phrases like what don't kill you will just make you strong

They're all full of shit

And they don't believe it

You control them like you control this song

I'd even breathe when you tell me to breathe

Thought you were joking when you asked me to leave

Was always willing to make a sacrifice

So tell me woman, what should I do with my life

Cos most of our friends say to leave it alone

Phrases like what don't kill you will just make you strong

They're all full of shit

And I don't believe it

You control them like you control this song

You control them like you control this song
