What You Can't 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.
I paint the walls the perfect color
Then you go and tear them down
My garden of love blooms with all its wonder
Then you go and dig it out
Well what can I say?
You keep bringing the grey
And you're making it hard to see clear
It's been dark for so long
And I'm ready for sun
You are no longer welcome here
You say you're sorry but I know
Given the chance you'd do it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control
I'm building these walls just to keep you away
Then you go and tear them down
Well what can I say?
You keep bringing the grey
And I don't want you around
You say you're sorry but I know
Given the chance you'd do it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control (Repeat X1)
(You can't love X4)
Well the grass is greener
On the other side, it's true
And there's just no more room
For me and you
Don't say you're sorry when I go
You had your chance, you did it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control
You say you're sorry but I know
Given the chance you'd do it again
So take your promises and go
You can't love what you can't control (Repeat X2)
Well the grass is greener
On the other side it's true
And there's just no more room
For me and you
