Control
I was down on my luck when you rushed in
You offered beauty and magic and sin
I wanted a home, you wanted a game
After a narcissist's touch, you're never the same
You said no one would love me, baby
Nobody like you, I believed you too
Then you went and snuck your hooks into me
First love I ever, first pain I ever
I ran away, but I got sicker
You live in my lungs, you live in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
(Ooh) and I can never go back now
(Ooh) you burned my youth and my house down
(Ooh) tell me the truth, did you ever want love
Or was control all it ever was?
I was quick to forgive, slow to anger
To you, I was selfish, your biggest betrayer
First comes thunder, then beautiful rain
You don't see erosion 'til it's too late
You said no one would love me, baby
Nobody like you, I believed you too
Then you went and snuck your hooks into me
First love I ever, first pain I ever
I ran away, but I got sicker
You live in my lungs, you live in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
(Ooh) and I can never go back now
(Ooh) you burned my youth and my house down
(Ooh) tell me the truth, did you ever want love?
But love is not control, is it?
Love is not a test, is it?
Love is not a weapon, is it?
Is it?
But I still hear
Love is not to fight, is it?
Love is never free, is it?
Love is not to leave, is it?
Is it?
I ran away, but I got sicker
You're in my lungs, in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
And I can never go back now
You burned my youth and my house down
Tell me the truth, did you ever want love
Or was control all it ever was?
You offered beauty and magic and sin
I wanted a home, you wanted a game
After a narcissist's touch, you're never the same
You said no one would love me, baby
Nobody like you, I believed you too
Then you went and snuck your hooks into me
First love I ever, first pain I ever
I ran away, but I got sicker
You live in my lungs, you live in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
(Ooh) and I can never go back now
(Ooh) you burned my youth and my house down
(Ooh) tell me the truth, did you ever want love
Or was control all it ever was?
I was quick to forgive, slow to anger
To you, I was selfish, your biggest betrayer
First comes thunder, then beautiful rain
You don't see erosion 'til it's too late
You said no one would love me, baby
Nobody like you, I believed you too
Then you went and snuck your hooks into me
First love I ever, first pain I ever
I ran away, but I got sicker
You live in my lungs, you live in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
(Ooh) and I can never go back now
(Ooh) you burned my youth and my house down
(Ooh) tell me the truth, did you ever want love?
But love is not control, is it?
Love is not a test, is it?
Love is not a weapon, is it?
Is it?
But I still hear
Love is not to fight, is it?
Love is never free, is it?
Love is not to leave, is it?
Is it?
I ran away, but I got sicker
You're in my lungs, in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
And I can never go back now
You burned my youth and my house down
Tell me the truth, did you ever want love
Or was control all it ever was?
