The Setback Lyrics by Thijmen van Daalen

Control Room

2018

[VERSE 1: Emma Elisa]
I don’t wanna be somebody else’s lover
Even though you fucked up
And then we made love
I won’t trust no other
Oh you
Oh baby I just feel so blue
I don’t wanna walk somebody else’s hand
Even though you been lying
And I had been crying
“It’s killing me” is what you said
Oh dude
Look at all the bullshit I’ve been through
[Chorus: Emma Elisa]
Baby, there’s no wrong or right
I’ve been killing me softly
I’ve been killing me softly alright
Pick it up
We’re lovesick enough
I’m trynna right my wrongs here
But don’t you get, my dear
[VERSE 2: Thijmen van Daalen]
What if I compromise all of my funds?
What if my accolades remain at none?
What if I end up right where I begun?
Aware of the pressure, don’t have to be blunt
Complicate it way more than you think
Sometimes feel you wait for me to sink
Just to revive me and stay there beside me
Staring at failure, hope he’s gonna blink
Let’s take a second to think for a minute
Time is all ours, each day a beginning
Years turn to decades, the longer we’re spinning
The more I give up and the closer the finish
But all of this effort, I think it’s whatever
Even though you say that I should know better
You got it all: the cookies, the batter, the chocolate
For me that’s enough to go after
[Chorus: Emma Elisa]
Baby, there’s no wrong or right
I’ve been killing me softly
I’ve been killing me softly alright
Pick it up
We’re lovesick enough
I’m trynna right my wrongs here
But don’t you get, my dear
Baby, there’s no wrong or right
I’ve been killing me softly
I’ve been killing me softly alright
Pick it up
We’re lovesick enough
I’m trynna right my wrongs here
But don’t you get, my dear
