Control Lyrics by Have Mercy

The Love Life

2019

[Verse 1]
I’ve been drinking too much
And that’s why I am alone
Hot and heavy in lust
So can you answer the phone?
I’ve got a story, it could be yours
And I’ve got a story, it could be yours
But you don’t want me anymore

[Chorus]
I'm not in the right mind
I'm not in control
But I want to be strong for the ones I love
Keep them content with growing old
If there was a grim man
A good ones what I’m told couldn’t keep me around
Always was the anchor in the ground
My words and my sounds
Were always bringing you down

[Verse 2]
It has me sick to my gut
Compare the lives that I've lost
To all the ones that I’ve touched
And I’ve got a story, it could be yours
And I’ll draw the art and make it ours
But you don’t want me anymore

[Chorus]
I'm not in the right mind
I'm not in control
But I want to be strong for the ones I love
Keep them content with growing old
If there was a grim man
A good ones what I’m told couldn’t keep me around
Always was the anchor in the ground
My words and my sounds
Were always bringing you down

(I know the problems, I know the problems now)

[Verse 3]
So tell me all the problems now (I know the problems now)
And let me figure 'em out, or don’t (I know the problems now)
I lost my love for myself and everyone's all gone (I know the problems now)
I’ll find a place that I'll call home (I know the problems now)
Somewhere we could have been alone, who knows (I know the problems now)
I’m just looking for some comfort so I could be well
On my own

But I’m not in control
I'm not in control
But I want to be strong for the ones I love
Keep them content with growing old
If there was a grim man
A good ones what I’m told couldn’t keep me around
Always was the anchor in the ground
My words and my sounds
Were always bringing you down
