Control lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was down on my luck when you rushed in
You offered beauty, and magic, and sin
I wanted a home, you wanted a game
After a narcissist's touch, you're never the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Said no one would love me, baby
Nobody like you, I believed you too
Then you went and snuck your hooks into me
First love I ever
First pain I ever

[Chorus]
I ran away but I got sicker
You live in my lungs, you live in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell mе, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
And I can never go back now
You burnеd my youth and my house down
Tell me the truth, did you ever want love?
Or was control all it ever was?

[Verse 2]
I was quick to forgive, slow to anger
To you I was selfish, your biggest betrayer
First comes thunder, then beautiful rain
You don't see erosion, till it's too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Said no one would love me, baby
Nobody like you, I believed you too
Then you went and sunk your hooks into me
First love I ever
First pain I ever

[Chorus]
I ran away but I got sicker
You live in my lungs, you live in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
And I can never go back now
You burned my youth and my house down
Tell me the truth, did you ever want love?

[Bridge]
But love is not control (is it?)
Love is not a test (is it?)
Love is not a weapon (is it?)
Is it?
But I still hear
Love is not a fight (is it?)
Love is never free (is it?)
Love is not for me (is it?)
Is it?
[Chorus]
I ran away but I got sicker
You're in my lungs, in my liver
You fled the scene, there's not a trace
Tell me, is it normal to flinch at your own name?
And I can never go back now
You burned my youth and my house down
Tell me the truth, did you ever want love?
Or was control all it ever was?
