Control - Catie Turner

Don't you see the irony?

Or have you gotten habitual in your hypocrisy

That you're starting to see it as fact?

You think I'm too trusting, huh

Let people walk over my back

Beloved, taking strolls over my passive bones

Make my psyche bend then crack

I know when you say it, you don't mean it

I know when you say it, you don't mean it, never mean it 'cause

You don't love me, you just love control

You like me most when I do what ['bout-it?], I'm told

Can't stand up straight, shows too much spine

I'm not straying too far with his leash on my mind

No, you don't love me, you just love control

Aware of our dichotomy

And it makes you angry, want me horizontally

Scared I'll reach even 90 degrees

I will tantamount to iron

In your wake, there's only fire

And my lungs are scorched and tired

You conspired with a lighter

You don't love me, you just love control

You like me most when I do what ['bout-it?] I'm told

Can't stand up straight, shows too much spine

I'm not straying too far with his leash on my mind

No, you don't love me, you just love control

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You just love control

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Nothing I do will be good enough for you

I don't think I'll ever be who you want me to

My choices are yours, gave you my voice and my eyes

Fist fight reflection hoping one day you’ll be mine

I know when you say it, you don't mean it

I know when you say it, you don't mean it, you don't mean it

I know when you say it, you don't mean it
