Control

[Intro]
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]
Don't call my phone just to boast
'Bout all the all the good things that you do
Don't be so bold, I've seen your cold heart
Say good things, but bad ones too

[Pre-Chorus]
You wanna pick the world around me apart
One by one, destroying the ventures of my heart
You wanna make it look like I was at fault
I'm just a victim of excessive control

[Chorus]
How come I can't always be what I wanna be?
You still feel young, but this life's overcoming me ('Coming me)
Get me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece
Made me feel strange, manipulated, unknowingly

[Post-Chorus]
No, oh
Mmm, mmm

[Verse 2]
Don't tell me off just because
You let emotions get the best of you
And don't you dare consider scaring
Me into things I don't wanna do

[Pre-Chorus]
You wanna pick the world around me apart
One by one, destroying the ventures of my heart
You wanna make it look like I was at fault
I'm just a victim of excessive control

[Chorus]
How come I can't always be what I wanna be? (Wanna be)
You still feel young, but this life's overcoming me
Get me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece
Made me feel strange, manipulated, unknowingly

[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, unknowingly
Mmm, mmm

[Bridge]
I'm just a victim of excessive control
I'm just a victim of excessive control
I'm just a victim of excessive control
I'm just a victim of excessive control

[Chorus]
How come I can't always be what I wanna be?
You still feel young, but this life's overcoming me
Get me in play, picture frames on the mantle piece
Made me feel strange, manipulated, unknowingly

[Outro]
Unknowingly
Oh, how come I can't
How come I can't
Oh, unknowingly
Unknowingly
Control of me, mmm
