Lose Control

(album: Phoenix - 2010)

The past has a way of tricking you
When you look back
You don't see truth
Sometimes you just don't have a clue
Where this road has brought you to
You're just another card lost in the shuffle
I guess you've always been drawn to trouble
But we're all done pretending
Your life is one worth saving
Saving
Saving
Saving
Saving
Saving

You're in too deep
Your cover's blown
Now you're on your own
So who'll be held responsible
When you lose control?
You're trying to keep yourself afloat
You're sinking like a stone
I won't be held responsible
When you lose control

Funny how it all creeps up on you
Lies redefine the ugly truth
Trust now is just your new abuse
No one can give it back to you
You're just another empty soul on a mission
Out for yourself
Taking what you're giving
We're all done pretending
Your honor's worth defending
Defending
Defending
Defending
Defending

You're in too deep
Your cover's blown
Now you're on your own
So who'll be held responsible
When you lose control?
You're trying to keep yourself afloat
You're sinking like a stone
I won't be held responsible
When you lose control

You're on your own
I'm letting go
I'm not strong enough to save you
There is no one left to blame but you
You're on your own
I'm just a ghost
Wandering in the unknown
I'm not strong enough to save you
There is no way left to save you now

You're in too deep
Your cover's blown
Now you're on your own
So who'll be held responsible
When you lose control?
You're trying to keep yourself afloat
You're sinking like a stone
I won't be held responsible
When you lose control
When you lose control
When you lose control
When you lose control
When you lose control
