Self Control Lyrics by Matt Simons

Identity Crisis

2021

[Verse 1]
I got a fear of missing out, mixed with crippling self-doubt
And I can't escape it
I got this pattern I'm repeating, it's always so self-defeating
No, I can't break it

[Pre-Chorus]
One step and I'm over the line
One taste and it's gonna rewind
Won't quit 'til I'm outta my mind
I, I know it's a matter of time
If I start here, it's a steady decline
I'm trying, I'm trying

[Chorus]
I've been working on my self-control
I've been practicing how to say no
But I always answer when you call
Don't do this to me

[Verse 2]
You said you only live once and you're already out front
So get going there with you
Yeah, you're pulling mе back in
And you're probably gonna win 'cause I can't resist you

[Pre-Chorus]
Onе glass then a bottle of wine
One more and it's over to mine
One look and you're staying the night
I, I'm weak when we're dimming the lights
I know I'll feel empty inside
I'm trying, I'm trying

[Chorus]
I've been working on my self-control
I've been practicing how to say no
But I always answer when you call
Don't do this to me (Don't do this)
And you know I got no self-control
So I feel like I should just stay home
But I always answer when you call
Don't do this to me (Don't do this)

[Bridge]
Don't do this (Don't do this)
Don't do this, don't, don't do this (Don't do this)
Don't do this, don't, don't do this (Don't do this)
Don't do this to me (Don't do this)
Don't do this (Don't do this)
Don't do this, don't, don't do this (Don't do this)
Don't do this, don't, don't do this (Don't do this)
Don't do this to me (Don't do this)

[Chorus]
I've been working on my self-control
I've been practicing how to say no
But I always answer when you call
Don't do this to me
And you know I got no self-control
So I feel like I should just stay home
But I always answer when you call
Don't do this to me (Don't do this)
